Wondering if anyones bought one of these workshop manuals on CD - been looking for a scan of the factory manuals for a while. It mentions the words ''genuine' and 'dealers', but it would be nice to hear from someone who has one

Yes, its good but European models so there are differences to some of our stuff.
No 4.5l petrol info.

I have a pretty hefty incoming and outgoing file size quota on my email as I deal with GIS overlays often. But he can't send them to me because it is too much info to leave his server at once. Does anyone (BOGGED) have an idea of the best type of file shrinking program for large PDFs? I have one here but it is the sort you have to pay big dollars for and no one wants to do that for free stuff hey!

download to your computer, and extract the files to a folder, and run em :) or after you extract them, you can burn to CD to take with you :)

Cheers mate :D


P.S.
I noticed the file name is GU Service manaual. I haven't unzipped them yet as we don't have a zip prgram on the work laptop. So, before downloading all of them I was wondering if they are all the same and if so, is the GQ manual a part of the GU file?

I downloaded from rapidshare 158MB and it appears to be only the GU (y61) manual, although a lot of the information is probably the same.
