I agree with Ron on this. I'm not a mechanic by any stretch but seem to have
some limited aptitude for "mechanical stuff", which can get me in trouble. I
haven't had the Bentley long but can already see I can get baffled by it's
technical information, even overwhelmed. Using the Haynes along with it has
helped make things simpler and bring it "down" to my level. Also, using the
information you people here have so kindly probided has been enormously
helpful. Recent headlight relay and air conditioning information are
examples in my case. As you say: "just my $0.02 worth.

When I need to do something on my Westy, I always check both manuals before
starting, and sometimes find a helpful tip in one that wasn't mentioned in
the other.  In my opinion, given the hassle of doing a job incorrectly or
the hard way, or the cost of having a garage do it, the $25 spent for the
Haynes (in addition to, not instead of, the Bentley) will pay for itself the
very first time you find something useful in it that the Bentley didn't
mention.
