pdf manual for 1998 astra?
blakep82 - 29/12/07 at 08:51 PM

well, specifically the x20xev engine, but i think mine was from a 1998 astra

wondered if anyone had or knew where i could download one from. not sure its worth spending £20 on a haynes manual for a car i don't have, for an engine which will be modified to only just resemble the engine of the car it came from i'm cheap like that

limewire for car manuals, what next

limewire, good call, its on my laptop though, which won't connect to the interweb
my dad won't let me put it on his pc

err I was kidding, I don't think anyone would scan a manual and post it on the web for free, for one thing it's illegal

but I could be wrong so I'm running a search right now on limewire. You should show your dad just how much music he could get downloaded then he'd change his tune, no pun intended

there's plenty of motorbike manuals on the internet, SVA manuals, music, all on the internet for free and illegal, why not a manual for an astra?

i did show him limewire, turned his nose up at it, said it was illegal, then put on a CD someone from work copied for him... he seems to think itunes is the best thing ever...

I wonder if I spoke to soon, is this of any help? I think though you have to register or pay...

I've seen haynes manuals on the web, they always seem to be on russian websites, so it's a bit of a lottery to get the bit you want (the manuals are in english)
If I had a link I'd post it!
