Lots of stuff is advertised with this airbag invention nowadays, I reckon it's something like a Jiffy-bag but with no nice bits from Lighthouse in it.

If you're after a Haynes type manual, you can er.... get a Haynes one from their website www.haynes.co.uk (http://www.haynes.co.uk). It's the US version for LHDs.
