Default Subaru Haynes Manual

Is there a Haynes or equivelent workshop Manual for the Subaru Impreza Turbo 2000? Every car I have owened from Mini(Austin) to Passat I have had Haynes workshop Manuals, and found them a life saver.

I am looking at suspension and roll bar replacement, and although its probably dead easy, as the things are there looking one in the face, I would feel a bit more confident about touching such a vital part with the backup of some form of Subaru "strip down and rebuild" type book.

Anyone got any ideas?

Richard.

Haynes dont so a Subaru manual - they say there's not enough of them about - Think they're walking round with their eyes closed

What year's the car? I have some workshop stuff on CD for the MY00 thats proved usefull (if I can find it)

I will check auction sites for CD's.

They should do one i recon, if i can get a Haynes manual for a MY87 Holden Astra then i think a Scoob one would be a good idea!

From what I could see, most of the CD-ROMs are for US spec cars - ie the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

I rang haynes a couple of years ago and got told 'there just aren't enough of them on the road to justify us doing a manual. We don't think it would sell'

really gets up my nose as they do a lot of 'modding' manuals for the typical (dare I say it) boy racer cars along with the normal Haynes

As mentioned, they don't do a haynes manual because there are not enough made. I couldn'g get one for my Punto Turbo, and a mate couldn't get one for a UK MR2. For my Punto, there was a rare Porters guide that covered it, it was written my the bloke that does the Haynes manuals. But if they did one for a Scoob, I'm sure someone would have mentioned it by now.
