I've got a Haynes manual that I picked up from a car boot sale.... am I glad I didn't bother shelling out real money for it!!!!!
Can anyone recommend a good all round substitute? and where to get it etc.

The Bently manual is apparently the dogs nuts....
Try amazon I think....
I've had a quick flick of one and it looks very detailed!
Haynes is ok, but not great.

Get a Bentley manual, definately. I've got Bentley and Haynes and TBH I never look at the Haynes, the Bentley is so mucj more detailed, accurate, and easy to follow.

The only use for a Haynes Manual is for the M40 engine, as this is not covered in the Bentley. The Bentley is far superior in every other way to the Haynes. I have both.
