Is there much different between the RAVE and the Haynes manual?

I do have a copy of the RAVE manual on my computer but found it much easier to just use the PDF of the Discovery 2 Workshop Manual.

I find the Haynes good for things like what actual maintenance routines are carried out at the recommended mileages. Also the descriptions of maintenance carried out is helpful. RAVE is good for explaining how the TD5 works. For example, the cooling system, one of the most complicated I have seen, is explained in RAVE, even though it took me a while to get my head around it. Also, in the engine management system part of it, the explanation of what happens when individual bits fail [ fuel relay, start relay, etc] helps take the fear out of the electronic trickery. Basically, Haynes is for the average Joe, RAVE is for the mechanic. Just my opinion. Combine them with this forum, and you have it covered.
