I've been waiting for this to come out, however, it's utter disappointment.

This manual doesn't cover the CVT and it is diagrammed from a right hand drive vehicle. I think I'll just spend an extra 20 and get the bentley. what a bummer.

Haynes vs Bentley? not even close....

I've used and own a number of different Haynes manuals and I have never seen ANY Haynes book with even 1/3 the detail in the Bentley manual.

The Bentley is about twice the price, but this is information your buying not a rebuilt water pump.

Get the Bentley if you're serious about servicing your own Mini.

Just buy the Bentley manual and save yourself the disappointment.
It's worth twice the price.
