Service Manual Download Location

[QUOTE=m371961;968860]Welcome. Suggest you purchase the factory service manuals. Even if you are not doing the work yourself, they are indispensable. Start looking for them on E-bay.

There is a site that's called something like crazyaboutcarsonline that I was able to go onto and download complete service manuals and every other related stuff like marketing. Sadly my laptop's hard drive died and I lost all of the files. Also can't remember the proper name for the site I referred to.Any ideas?

Or just WildAboutCars.com. It's the site of the Automotive History Preservation Society.

Good reason to have owned a hard copy... Or have backed up the info on a flash drive or external hard drive...

Plus, I've heard the scanned images are difficult to decipher.

Hi again,
This is the right one.Have now paid up to become a proper member and get access to the service manuals.Hopefully someone there will answer my email to them asking where to go from here.
It's quite impressive, the amount and quality of information in the library.I had the SMs for my car previously but lost everything when my laptop's hard drive died.A very good advert for the Google Cloud I guess.
Thanks

A very good advert for keeping a second hard drive, or even a flash drive, and backing up.

You need to go here and here.
