Title: Downloadable workshop manuals
Post by: Lowlife on January 26, 2018, 01:58:27 PM
Can anyone tell me if http://www.holdenrepairmanual.com/manuals/ is a reputable website to purchase downloadable workshop manuals.
or can anyone recommend a place to download manuals.
Mainly searching for FC, but would likely grab a couple of others.
I know I can buy originals easily enough, but I prefer using the screen so I can read up on things while I'm not at home.

cheers.

Jim

It seems OK but in saying that I've been caught recently with a very comprehensive site copying items for sale off eBay (not Holden manuals). I would expect the site to end in .nz with a for New Zealand postal address but that may mean nothing.

eBay has what looks like the same manuals. Using eBay could be a safer bet.

I bought a soft copy of the Holden 48-HR Parts Catalog some years ago off eBay & it has been very handy. I don't see the same one for sale at the moment but these look like a similar thing. The scans were quite reasonable & all pages are readable. It can take a while to find some parts listed as the document is limited to read only with bookmarks to sections & thumbnails of individual pages (compared to a document created in Adobe with greater functionality & advanced search tools).
