The Haynes manual for your car. Even if you're not a mechanic they are so detailed they will walk you through fixing almost anything, they're made for the laymen. I'm a diesel mechanic and even i own one for my cars.

When friends buy a new car i buy them a Haynes manual.

They don't do them for ever single car in the world and the coverage isn't as great on later model stuff but if you own s car 5 years or more old they're great.

Ha, my model is not on the list, what a shame

Me either. I drive a 2018 Mazda 3 and they only have '09-16. Quite weird since I see people driving them around me all the time.

OP's link is to the Australian site, so maybe check again using your country if you haven't already.

There's no Ukrainian version as far as I can see

Though, I found similar mode on French site

Not my engine or gearbox tho, almost no parts fit from them... And it's in French (:

Yeah thats common with these manuals anyways. I've probably owned a dozen over the years and they work great for high level issues but are pretty lacking in detail especially when you have 3-4 different versions of XYZ from the factory.
