    LR3 workshop Manual - at last I've found it!

    Thought a few people would be interested - someone has been to the LR GTR site and downloaded the entire workshop manual and selling it on ebay for US$20...so it cost me AU$20 with no GST (sorry Mr Harvey!)

    Automotive-Service-Manual items - Get great deals on items on eBay Stores!

    Once purchased you get an email with the link to download the 430MB file.

    Its presented as a .zip file with about 100 sub directories with each of the relevant areas containing description and operation, removal and adjustment details etc. It is the real manual although not presented as neatly as the RAVE system, ie the hyperlink don't jump from one place to the other and you need to open each pdf file individually.

    The manual covers the 2005 LR3 2.7, 4.0 and 4.4 models....which will cover most vehicles for the next 4 years?

    It does not seem to have the wiring / electrical information but certainly all the drive train, interior, engine wheels panels etc. $20 buck well spent for me!

    cheers

    Col.

    Well done. And a bargain for the asking price.

    Who owns the copyright. If downloaded I would assume this is still Land Rover.

    So is the sale actually legal??

    I'm guessing this is not a legal copy. If it was available from Land Rover, I for 1 would be happy to buy it. It's not. Since this is the only way I can get a copy of the workshop manual for my car, then so be it.

    You can take out a 24 hour sub to the LR GTR. I did so to download all the P38A info they had.

    Well I guess these days I am not surprised at the lack of moral fibre in the community, sadly it extends to here, too.

    Those of us that pay to legitimately access these services are supporting the very people and organisations that spend a hell of a lot of time and expertise designing and producing these vehicles, like it or not, workshop manuals are part of it.

    (Edit:, apologies to those that PAY, I am having a soapbox moment about the degree of dishonesty I see all around, every day. )

    Wasn't moralising in my above post - just interested whether the seller actually has the copyright because if they haven't they will not be around for long.

    If organisations make documents available at a reasonable price then I have no trouble buying them, but when they with hold information or make it available at over the top prices I have no issue with acquiring from other sources.

    I find it amazing that the D3 has been out for nearly 6 years and there still is not a freely available workshop manual available, either from Landrover or elsewhere.
