The Haynes manuals used to be based on the manufacturers version, plus their own experience gained in stripping cars down. They stopped doing that long ago, now they just repeat excerpts from the manufacturers manuals.
My last Granada, the final version, was bought cheap with lots of electrical issues. I bought the Haynes manual assuming they were like of old, with a full set of diagrams. I was very wrong, so I complained to Haynes who very helpfully posted me a full A3 set of the manufacturers diagrams. They would have filled several Haynes manuals. ...Yes, I did manage to sort out all of its issues and ran it for many years, whilst hoping Ford might bring out a successor to the Granada.
