Absolutely vital for the do-it-yourself homeowner

This is the only home repair book I have found that shows you how to repair your oven, how to light pilot lights, maintain air conditioners, and fix your dishwasher. It is easy to find books that show how to do carpentry and drywall. It is a rare gem that gives excellent illustrations to take care of your major appliances. This book paid for itself with my first repair - I fixed my own oven. Put it on your bookshelf next to the Reader's Digest Complete Do-it-yourself manual. You can fix anything!

Great book for homeowner

This book is a Must have book for any homeowner. I already own several kind home improvements, but so far I prefer this book much better than my other books.

Foolproof!

If you can read, and if you know a combination wrench from a torque wrench, you can use this manual. It provides step-by-step instructions, and plenty of photographs. If certain repairs are best done by a professional, the reader is strongly urged to take the unit to an expert.

I am a woman, and just learning about things mechanical. But, was easily able to remove and replace a worn-out starter on my 300 FourTrax by follwing the instructions in this book!

Honda TRX300

If you like to service and maintain your bike yourself, then this is a great investment. It has lots of pictures which make understanding the text much easier. After spending half an hour flicking through the pages my knowledge of my bike doubled. I was supprised at how far it goes in explaining various parts of the bike.

Must Have for VT500 Owners

This is an outstanding manual. Clear photos show every step for every maintenance and repair task the home mechanic is likely to undertake. Tells you in a few instances when you are better off taking your bike to the shop for repairs. Has helpful hints on how to accomplish difficult or tricky tasks.

It really makes working on my old Shadow fun.

Great Self Repair Guide

The Clymer Honda Service Manual for Honda VT500 Motorcycles is a great guide for the novice/beginning motorcycler. Great diagrams, and easy to follow instructions makes this a must for those who are new around motorcycles.

GOOD TO HAVE, IF YOU NEED TO SAVE SOME MONEY AND FIX IT YOURSELF

Honda CR-V Repair Book Is Excellent

I called all the auto stores in my area to see if they had a Honda CR-V service manual. No one had them, so I turned to the web for help. I found this book, ordered it, and was able to succesfully replace my squeaky brakes. This book can help you with almost any repair on your CR-V, and I highly recommend it rather than paying tons of money for the dealership to repair your car.

Covers it all for the "Do it yourself" reader

Very informative, great diagrams and impressive photographs. This engine book starts by covering the reliable slant 6 and progresses to cover small blocks, big blocks and the mighty Hemi. Oil systems, block and bore sizes, camshafts,gear valves and crankshafts are also included in this extensive engine book. I highly recommend this book to anyone attempting any Chrysler engine work on their own. This book nicely complements Adkin's previous book "Chrysler Performance Upgrades".

How To Build High Performance Chrysler Engines

I found this book to be extremely informative and helpful. From Slant Sixes to small blocks, Magnums, big blocks, and Hemis, this book covers it all. Lots of information and photos packed into one book. Engine history and parts interchangeability as well as parts selection. Lots of food for thought! Not too basic, but many complex theories are broken down and made easy to understand. If you've ever thought about building a Mopar engine, you should read this book!

The Best VW Rabbit Repair Book I have ever seen

I have a copy of this book,and it is awesome, excellent and wonderful. The problem I'm having is that I am selling one of my Rabbits (80 red convertible gas 5 speed) and the people I'm selling it to want a copy of this book along with the car and I can't find another one. Thats how good this book is!

The best golf/rabbit repair book not in print!

In the tradition of John Muir's How to Keep your Volkswagen Alive, this book covers repair procedures for the 74-84 Volkswagen Rabbits, Jettas, and Scirroccos.

Repair procedures, anectdotes, artful diagrams all help one keep a sense of balance whilst repairing a Volkswagen water cooled car..

In the same spirit as the original 'Compleat Idiot',technical advice is mixed with humour to inform and entertain.

Some may argue it is less thorough than the official VW manual, but it makes an excellent compliment, and a few tricks lay within that are relevant to even today's New Beetle!

Newer editions than my old one may contain 85-up Golf information.

There was a mention in one edition of a Muir publication of a 85- Golf manual, but was never published.. and now this one is out of print.

But not all is lost! It does exist, it _can_ be reborn in a new media!

If you feel that this book should be re-published in a CD-Rom, compleat with the Compleat idiot, write to Muir Publications, I did. They sent me a rejection letter (?) But keep trying, they'll get the idea eventually.. :)Maybe a petition?

My reccomendation.. If you have a Rabbit, Jetta or Scirrocco from 74-84, get this book if you can, it has a good sense of technical humour, and might help you figure out that strange noise!
