It could be incredibly interesting as long as it’s factual. There’s so many K series facts floating about on the internet that aren’t true but get repeated as though they are

Like I said, many members will possibly prefer a printed book to reading online, plus, from what I can gather, it's not just a repair manual, it gives a little bit of background history etc, etc on the development of the K Series.

Just enter your EKA code which on an older system like an MGF with a 5As disables the alarm/immobiliser until you use the remote fob again.
Doesn't work like that on newer cars with an SCU
