This brings up a related question:
I know that the Haynes does not cover the Syncro or the Westy.  Are there
any Syncro Westy owners that would recommend the Haynes in addition to the
Bentley?

I have Bentley, thinking about buying the Haynes, but don't need another 200
page book with 20 pages of useful information...
