Workshop Manual

KRISTLEE · 17th October 2016, 13:51

Hi All,

Not sure if I have posted this in the correct section (could be classed as technical too I suppose

) so mods please feel free to give me a slap on the wrist and move it if necessary...

Is this workshop manual the printed version of the Rave CD and also has the colour photos etc?

I have a copy of the Rave software on a memory stick but as I no longer have or use a laptop I would find a printed version of the workshop manual very useful (being the saddo that I am I enjoy reading the Rave sections even when I'm not doing anything in particular with my ZTT lol).

In short, yes.

I have the book in my garage so I can't confirm but I don't think any of the photos are coloured, not that it matters for the service procedures anyway. However, I'm quite certain it has no wiring diagrams in it, just the workshop manual part of the CD.

Thanks Andre,

Not sure it will be worth having then without wiring diagrams as electrickery isn't my strong point and it would be nice to use just for the wiring diagrams and connector locations with colour photos of what they look like.

But it is half price - and copyright legal, if it matters.

Aye it's a good price mate and copyright legal but missing the all important wiring diagrams lol...I'm still tempted though as it's an excellent reference source for mechanical jobs.

Thanks for the offer mate, I have it all on memory stick, I just thought a hard copy would be useful to have is all.

Remember it's printed sideways, so damned awkward to read.
Err, I mean like this:

Hmmm I didn't know that, maybe I'll just dust off my old laptop and continue to use that lol

I've got the MGF version of these manuals and found it a little awkward to read because of the format. Still nice to have a paper copy though and I use mine a lot

Was thinking of getting a 75/ZT one too.

Just to add, there are no wiring diagrams in the MGF one either
