Workshop Manuals

[shandy_man]

Hi ive got a Yaris 1.0 petrol and i want to start doing some of my own basic maintance on it. Nothing to major just changing fluid ect ect. I was looking around for a work shop manual for it like a Haynes one and couldnt find anything. Im a total novice when it come to car maintance and i need some guidance.

Any ideas???

Cheers

thanks for the advice and the welcome. I really dont know a thing about cars apart from how to drive them. to start with the basics how would i change the oil?

thanks

or do you need to know the full basics aswell as specific car techniques??

(not patronising just asking to be sure :P )

Hi,

shandy_man, look around and see if there aren't any shools in your region that give night courses on car mechanics. You'll learn all the basic stuff like oil changes, filter changes, how all things work. If they're any good they will let you do those jobs on your own car.

As far as Toyota manuals are concerned, they assume you have a certain level of knowledge and experience, basic things like oil changes and so aren't even covered in these manuals ( I just went through a couple and i hade trouble finding a drawing that even shows the drain plug).

Cheers, Yves.
