Exteremly well documented book, concisely written. Lots of photos to explain every phase of servicing your Contour. The only reason why it is not a 5-star piece is that it is “too much” for the average customer, and too little for the pros. Would be nice to have a book written for “dummies” like me… I guess I am asking for too much.

This book is of some use, but not nearly as much as hoped. The wiring digrams are OK, and some of the simple procedures quite adequate, but all too often one finds: “this adjustment should be left to your dealer or a properly equipped shop.”…if we wanted to do that, we wouldn’t buy such a book in the first place!

I would think for as many of these cars are still on the road, better pictures, diagrams would be available. Text is comprehensive and complete, but lack of good illustrations is disappointing.

A good book like all the haynes manuals I have. Buy a MB shop book if you want the real dirt but this book does well for the usual tasks.

I knew I got a manual around somewhere, then I figured, why not just get a manual? so I did, and it serves its purpose.
