Hi, I have an LV Focus (2.0L petrol), and looking for a Haynes type workshop manual, and have a couple of questions - how good are they, and how do I make sure I get the right one for my car?...can I just go by year ie 2009/2010 and it will be the right one, or are there any trick for beginners I need to be aware of? Have seen some on ebay, though not sure if they the right ones as they are based in UK. Thanks!

The manuals are detailed and easy to follow in my experience. Good step-by-step instructions.
I got mine from ebay (UK). It is titled: Ford Focus Petrol (05 - 09) 54 to 09. This covers the LS-LT models. I believe there is not one for the LV yet. The differences between the UK + AUS cars are minimal, if any. |

Thanks - hopefully they will do one. I think there are just enough small differences to make it worthwhile hanging out for it, though would imagine 95% of the manual you have will do the trick for an LV model.

I have the Haynes manual from the UK.
Even though it has an LS model on the front, the car used in the manual is actually an LV from what I can see. As the LV was made in '09 it should cover this model. There are only minor differences between the models anyway as the LS,LT & LV are all the mk2 varient. |

Not sure if you can buy it in PDF but they have it on sale at Supercheapauto for about 35 bucks. It's re-published by Gregorys I think and it's exactly the same as my Haynes one.
