The reviews I've read make it sound like a total waste of money.

I bought this when it first came out, looked at it once, saw most advice too wide-ranging, haven't looked at it since but keep getting pestered by sales emails!

I got it, useless.

I just Google what I need, quicker and free.

I got it , tmit is not a Haynes Manual at all and found despite them claiming it did , It did
Not cover my 2021 Ducato.

Some of the diagrammes could be useful but other wise save you money.

I imagine any workshop manual covering specifically the standard Ducato would not be much use for an 'A' Class conversion, where several systems have been modified or re-located.

A bit late to the party, but I'll add to the weight; Knowing Haynes for their books I bought a copy last night - - Rubbish, garbage, doggerel, not fit for purpose, don't touch it - not even with someone else's barge pole. Generic copy and paste for all sorts, the illustration of how to jack the Fiat Ducato shows a Mercedes saloon. I have a problem with the cooling, the only thing I could fine was the torque settings for the bolts on the water pump. Considering the past quality of Haynes this is a really bad disappointment. I'm demanding my money back - wish me luck with that!

Another one who feels shafted, I mean in what universe does a merc saloon resemble a Peugeot boxer

Thank you all for saving me money on this. There is useful info on the Fiat Forum for the X250 but I have a twin egr X290 and there is "the odd difference". I presume no other publication has turned up. One of the problems Ive encountered with search on the web is the Ducato was sold around the world in different specs at the same time. Thus i ended up buying ecu pinout info from south america for a 2017 model that was a UK 2015. (and freely available for free) Such is life.

I've had another look through it, the more I look the worse it gets. "shafted", I don't think I could put it so politely!! 'In what universe . . . ' Don't get me started !!!

South Killingholme, back in my seagoing days (1973) I was on a tanker berthed on the oil jetty with a pub at the other end - got introduced to 'chasers' - rye & dry; wow that's how to get a sore head, what a state to get into. - happy days.

John Haynes was quite a character. My Uncle John , or Ken as he was known to his work colleagues and some friends was the master printer at Sparkford. He worked there from 1960 when it started until he retired.

He saw many changes over the years that’s for sure! He only died during Covid.
