Hi All, there has been some great work done by our isuzu driving counterparts in the us, by way of setting up a download capability for pdf based workshop manuals for the isuzu rigs - jackaroo rodeo and fronty.
Sav has put it here with all the details on how to download it and de-compress;

If you have broadband/adsl and unlimited download then get on it fast, as it may not last long and is definetly great to have.
I downloaded the jackaroo manual, took about 3 hours all up (4 parts) but it is nearly 12000 pages long. It is absolutely awesome.
Final file size is 118 meg, so easy to burn to cd.
Dont pay $400+ to holden, grab it for nix...
cheers all, Brad.

Thats some good news. Thanks for letting us know.
Unfortunately I'm one of the suckers that already paid $219 for my manuals...
Cheers,
Noel

Nope, they are a rhd japanese/euro biased manual with the lhd details as the added info. Not everything panders to the yanks, thank goodness
Dani, not your handiwork was it ????

Hmm... ADSL connection.. all 5 components... 30 minutes max.
Could only download 2 components at a time as there must be a connection limit to the server, but as soon as one downloaded, I could connect and down load the next.. no probs.
Cheers

for those that are interested, i have the "Holden Partfinder" program..... it has everything up to this years models, commercial and passenger.... you can hunt down the part number yourself and go order it..... handy program to have. PM me and i'll set you up an account on my ftp server and you can download it from there..... it's about 330meg..... but if you are on dialup, you can get a bit each day.. it resumes broken downloads.
