Hello,

I’ve got a new (to me) and slightly obscure car, 2003 Hyundai Trajet, and it appears Haynes don’t do a book for it. Any suggestions for the best alternatives? I hate taking cars to garages for little things I could do myself, but I do need some guidence!

Chers,
Andy

If there isn’t something from Haynes the best thing to do would be to get hold of a workshop manual from the manufacturer if possible.

A simple Google would give you this.

Thanks for that. Are they any good, anyone tried one? I like the step-by-step simplicity and the photos in the Haynes books and am looking for something similar.

You won’t be able to get anything as simple as Haynes. Those workshop manuals are generally ok (I’ve used Peugeot & Ford ones), but you still need some common sense.
Halfords do/did sell a competitor’s product, I bought a Peugeot one and it was rubbish – used once & binned.

Try Bentley. They publish factory repair manuals for a range of cars. Don’t know if they do one for yours but they are very comprehensive, much more detailed than Haynes and usually cost £70-80.

Bentley? As in the car makers?

Er….no. As in the publishers of factory workshop manuals.

Bentley don`t do one for the Hyundai of any variety. AFAIK
