IceMan Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Well, Toyota UK are hopeless for me ("we can't promise you one for Christmas") so I scoured the web and found some places that offer handbooks translated from the Japanese originals (sounds more authentic for my Jap TT than a UK handbook!). Does anyone own any handbooks from one of the following?: http://www.importhandbooks.co.uk http://www.jpnz.co.nz The first is a UK company that _might_ be reselling the New Zealand produced JPNZ books but the images shown on their site look crappy and cheap compared to JPNZ. The UK site have handbooks for around £22 whilst the New Zealand books (JPNZ) can be sent Internationally and start at £15 (I guess shipping will increase that!). JPNZ are going to release Workshop Manuals too which could be promising. They sure appear to cover a huge range of Jap imported cars... Oh yeah and I have seen that http://www.mkiv.com have lots of scans from US manuals but I realise that the US cars are gonna differ quite a bit more, particularly in emissions! So, any opinions/feedback or info about handbooks? Thanx in advance, Ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Hi, I've got one of those JPNZ handbooks from Import Handbooks, I bought it for about 20 quid last year soon after I got the Surpa. It's OK for the basics about the car, but it doesn't have a service book part - I got mine from a local Totota dealer for a few quid. If you want it, you can have it for 15 quid incl postage - or make an offer. It's as good as new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
