I'm trying to put together a decent Rover "library" and have searched everywhere for an OEM parts manual. A lot of places advertise it, but don't have it. I think I finally have one coming. (Friend @ Dealership) What Gives? Do you have to be in some secret club or know a password or something? Why aren't these as plentiful as workshop manuals? I'd figure whoever sold you a repair book would try to make an extra buck by selling this too.

I have had similar problems finding the electrical troubleshooting manual. I have heard about it, but I still haven't seen one for sale.

I beleive they are all on CD now.....they have done away with the manuals on paper.

At least that is what I have been told by a couple of vendors.

I could not agree with you more... tring to find one has been a pain in my as*. I have a Hynes manual, I have the Mitchell on demand CD, and I have bought the CD form EBAY and they all suck. I guess Iam to old and set in my ways because I like the books better.

I think you guys are looking in the wrong places. When I wanted to buy all the OE manuals the only problem I had was the price...but they were all available. Try www.britishpacific.com ...but call them on the phone as their website sucks.

Gents
If you want workshop manuals or parts catalog on CD, drop Zorba an e-mail at slipnevi@bigpond.net.au and he might be able to help.
Thanks

If you can get the factory manual. It is worth the money. Very simple to understand. Mine doesn't leave the truck, put it behind the jump seat.
