Default Haynes manual

I am going to need 1 for a few jobs i want to do on my new Impreza,
Do they sell them, all i found on ebay was this....
eBay.co.uk: HAYNES MANUAL BOOK YOU & YOUR SUBARU IMPREZA TURBO +STI (item 300123402458 end time 21-Jul-07 16:11:41 BST)

Will it cover all jobs on it like the haynes manuals usually do on other cars?

Or would it be this 1?...
eBay.co.uk: HAYNES MANUAL BOOK THE RALLYING IMPREZAS SUBARU IMPREZA (item 300123407875 end time 21-Jul-07 16:30:41 BST)
Im not sure my self,
My car is the WRX STI V5 Type R btw

No Haynes never produced a 'manual' as such like all the other Haynes Manuals

Dont think they deemed it cost worthy, IIRC they reckon it costs them around 100k to produce a manual

Lets face it though, a lot of chavs cant read so not much point these days



that last bit is a joke btw

The HAYNES MANUAL YOU AND YOUR IMPREZA is not a step to step guide on how to repair your scoob it's mainly the history of subaru and were the classic impreza started it's rallying life from 1992-2000. + loads of model codes and very interesting information on our scoobs. If you want to upgrade the performance of your import/uk spec impreza it give's some good tips were to start your mods. if you are passonate about your classics it's well worth the £17.99. I have not got the rallying manual so i can not comment on that manual.

Can save you a phone call.

I rang them 18 months ago, they are in Somerset.

And the S****Y C*W said they had no plans to as, there was no demand for "That Sort Of Thing."

it came from ebay and you had a choice of either digital delivery or a cd rom through the post. many may disagree but i have found it to be a fantastic buy it was only 2.99.
it supposed to be the actual manual that subaru mechanics use.

The manuals you listed are just the history of the Preza, I have them. Haynes do not do a workshop manual like others cars. Plenty of info from the guys and galls on here if you get stuck. Get onto Gen Tech, all you will ever need.
