Actually, I have the metal-bound 10 volume set of Saab shop manuals, not a Haynes.
And I'm familiar and fluent with the Swedish to Brit translations... in fact, I worked on MGs and Jags before so British English car terminology is second nature to me. I was joking about the "prise/prize" thing. Sometimes funnier translations are the Japanese to Brit (Hong Kong) manuals for some of the older Hondas and Toyotas. (I've been around.) Thanks for trying to educate me, though.
My favorite Brit terms are the use of "earth" for what we call "ground" and calling a muffler a silencer! I don't know why, but that just strikes me as funny. Ed G. is trading me a Haynes book for some tequila this week, so I'll have one soon enough as a backup reference. I'll still use my shop manual set as the primary reference, though.
