        There are times when it is nice to have a second book to pursue when
the Bentley offers two different torque values for nuts on different pages.
There is also a few places when the Bentley does not mention things should
be replaced and the Haynes provides enough information to make a better
decision (connecting rod bolts immediately jump to mind)...
