I bought a set off Ebay last year and finally got around to using them this year. It was a copy of the Mitchel CDs and they were better than nothing, but not by much. For instance, the electrical schematic for the EFI system had 4 listings for the car (1998 V70xc) but if you look at the drawing number in the image, its the same drawing for all four. Components have (optional) if they are on some cars and not others.
The service information is spotty and not organized very well at times. I was trying to track down some problems with the air pump system and the digital manual was marginally helpful.
On the plus side, the set I bought has many models of cars (SAAB & Volvo) on the CD so you get lots of marginal manuals for one low price. I think I paid under $20 for the set with shipping. They are better than nothing, and probably worth the $20.
Regarding the UK Haynes manuals - are they really any good any more? The one I ordered for my 1992 SAAB 9000 was pretty borderline. Lots of stuff missing from the electrical schematic, zero information on the climate control ("this is hard, take it to your dealer"). Even the one for my 1989 Chevy K1500 had the same issues (HVAC - this is hard, take it to your dealer). Is the volvo haynes book worth the money or is there something better (bently? factory shop manuals?).
