Does anyone have an early RAVE?

SD1too · 27th April 2021, 13:19

I'm trying to help member Rsnail with an electrical fault with his passenger seat (year 2000 car, early fuse box). My copy of RAVE is from 2003 and shows the later fusebox and circuitry which is different in respect of the passenger seat.

Does anyone have the early issue of RAVE with circuit diagrams relating to a year 2000 car please?

Many thanks.

Got the whole technical library including the electrical bits from 1999, but the laminated copies are too big to scan. Can you make any sense out of this?

Tried taking several photos but still difficult to read, perhaps if there's a section you need then I could zoom it

Thanks Mike but you're right, the photo is not high enough definition. Are your originals A3 size then?

Yes they are A3 Simon, tried with my and the wife's newer phone but couldn't get any better, and as they are laminated we had a problem with glare. My daughter has got a nice camera, I'll see if we can get an improved copy.

But the wiring diagrams are from 2003 which I already have. I'm asking if anyone has the early version applicable to 1999/2000 cars.

I have a copy of Rave Simon, haven't a clue what's on it

You're welcome to it if you want

This is the dealer supplied manual, came with markers that you could draw on the diagram then rub off. Got one somewhere in the garage I think

Wow!

That would be great if you could locate it and we could arrange to copy it somehow.

As you can see Mike and I have been doing exactly that but it's not going smoothly, sadly. A source in the UK would be much easier.

Thanks for your reply Mark.

Nice to see your plea has received local attention. Think Mark's might be be a better option as they'll be RHD as opposed to mine.

I'll relax for the time being and give my attention to my front brakes.
