There ARE contradictions in each but as a rule they "offset" each other.
The wiring diagrams in Bentley work. Most times, Haynes does not. >>

I have to agree with Ed on that one. I have both for my Midget, and use them
both. I just had a small electrical problem, which I have decided to fix by
replacing the Lucas 4 fuse box (which is a little rusty) with a new
Littlefuse (modern ATO spade fuse) 5 fuse box. I have the Haynes book in the
garage with the car and the Bentley at my apartment about a mile away. I was
going nuts with only one reference book, because I knew the Bentley diagrams
are better, but I was at the car and only had the Haynes manual.
I have now made some more enlarged copies of the Bentley wiring diagrams and
will take them to the garage this weekend. It's a good idea to make enlarged
copies of the wiring diagram, then use a hiliter pen to mark the circuit you
are trying to fix.
If anybody wants any info about the Littlefuse fuse box, just write.
