400BHP Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Hi Guys I am currently awaiting delivery of my genuine UK toyota manual, in paper format (from toyota) I may take the whole thing to a copy centre and get copies made up if enough people are interested. Its a lot better than the .pdf manuals you can get off the net. I believe the UK manual will be valid for all models, dur to the spec being greater on the UK cars, the only thing that may be different is some meter readings of electronic components due to differences in size/spec. If anyone is interested, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Martin F Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 The UK manual is very unlikely to cover NA cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Yes but id take one anyway a few parts are the same and its always handy to see how the other half live,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Chris, I don't suppose you have the Toyota reference numbers for the UK manuals handy do you? I was planning to buy paper copies myself soon but I know from my experience of ordering the MR2 ones that my local parts chaps won't make it easy! Are there a few manuals, body and engine for example, or is it all covered in one for the UK spec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400BHP Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 Michael, There are two manuals, which cover the engine alone and then the rest of the car. I have not idea of part numbers yet as I haven't got em but I'll let you know if you require them mate, the only thing is they are rare as rocking horse shit and the guy I dealt with from parts said he was lucky to source one, so best of luck and i'll PM you when I know what they are. As for price, I'll whack them in a copy shop when I get them then I'll let you know from there, but I'd say less than half price and readily available. (i paid 150 quid for originals) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 Chris, That would be GREAT if you could get a full copy of both manuals! I would love them and would cover all the copy costs Might even buy you a pint Any idea when you could have this done by? Ive run out of interesting reading material.

I thought they would be hard to source but I'm keen to give it a go, I really fancy the originals so if you do get a chance to pass the numbers on that would be really appreciated. At least then I can take the car to a mechanic I trust and know he has the resources at hand if he needs them as well as being able to do some of the jobs myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400BHP Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 Chris, No problem mate, i'll get you a set done when I get em. Michael, As soon as I know the part numbers i'll send you them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I'm interested, what sort of price are we talking? Barney 94UKMK1VTT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400BHP Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 If you scroll up you may get some idea, I have to find out from the printers before I commit to a price but it will be much less than Toyota want and it'll be exactly the same document in the exact same format as I get it.

dandan Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 can you let me know on cost and time, if it all sounds good then i'm definately in. Will they be loose pages for us to bind ourselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400BHP Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 I should have the manuals by next week, then the printers time (whatever thats gonna be) and they will be bound and dressed up all smartly, exactly the same as the original. But a huge saving in your back burner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
