Default Obscure manuals

Hey all, just gotta give a free plug to manualmaker.com. Ordered a manual on CD for my XY 4x4 from them. Finding a genuine one pretty unlikely but for $49 this one is awesome. Well laid out with clear text and diagrams. Take it to work and print it out, bingo full manual! Highly reccomend!!

Great product, these will seriously be a big help for people chasing older manuals.

On a lighter side though I recall way back on my first car a Mk 1 Cortina I rebuilt the engine using a gregorys workshop manual, I recall how dirty the book looked after I finished, I somehow cannot see a lap top getting any less dirty let alone trying to find a computer port on the XY to plug in the diagnostic software contained on these new CD's

Lol, I have a few seriously stained workshop manuals too. CDs are a scan of genuine manuals. Think the go is to print the bits out you are working on.
