Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / January 2006Landrover Defender Manual on CD
does anybody have any experience/comments on these manuals on CD? Are they worth a look or not? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2466679773&category=36088 thanks richard V8 90 >does anybody have any experience/comments on these manuals on CD? >Are they worth a look or not? [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >thanks >richard V8 90 My copy of RAVE is great - I can't lose it (well, not without losing two laptops, a desktop, a file server and my CD stack at the same time). I can print out the page I need and get it as oily and torn as I like (or the dog likes), rather than balance the big workshop manual on the radiator. -- Tim Hobbs '58 Series 2 88" aka "Stig" '67 Series 2a 109" aka "Ernie '77 101FC Ambulance aka "Burrt" '95 Discovery V8i aka "The Disco" My Landies? http://www.seriesii.co.uk Barcoding? http://www.bartec-systems.com Tony Luckwill web archive at http://www.luckwill.com >>does anybody have any experience/comments on these manuals on CD? >>Are they worth a look or not?

The only thing I've found about RAVE is that it's patchy, unless mine's an incomplete one, perchance, if such things exist. There are whole subjects which don't get mentioned at all, and inevitably these are the ones you want to know about.  SignatureAustin Shackles. www.ddol-las.fsnet.co.uk my opinions are just that "If you cannot mould yourself as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?"

The manual I have only covers the alarm system and basic leccy bits, I want a full wiring diagram. I can't find one for download anywhere, does the RAVE CD cover it? Oh, and a parts manual would be nice too, they're bloody expensive. Signaturesimon at sbarr dot demon dot co dot uk Simon Barr.

Hm, I'll take a look at Haynes. I'd discounted them without even looking at one of their manuals as I wasn't at all impressed with the last couple I bought for a couple of Vauxhalls I've owned.

It's true that the new Haynes books are basically a list of "this operation is best carried out by a dealer", which I find inordinately irritating. however, they usually do manage to get the data mostly-right, and wiring diagrams.

You can download a lot for free on these sites. Check if they have what you need before buying. http://www.carsoft.ru/avtorepair/landrover.html http://www.landrover.ee/est/varia/downloads/downloads.htm Being able to print out (and search for) exactly what you need is handy.
