AlanM Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Hi Can you add me to the list for a copy as well. I find out more I don't know about this car every day (But still love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrenn Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Sounds like a good idea...but the Toyota BGB's are pretty huge and I think would be expensive to copy...and I imagine your originals would be in quite bad shape after, perhaps they have to take the pages out to copy them properly (???), I don't know how they would make good copies otherwise. What price did you get on the originals by the way? I know they are damn expensive but fairly essential if you want to do some DIY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Have you got the part numbers for the UK manuals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRoy Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Hi Chris, put me down for one aswell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400BHP Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 Paul, I dont think the manuals are bound in such a way they can't be unbound (I hope) and they are brand new. Steve, I dont have them yet but when I do I'll let you know. They are 150 quid a set from TGB. (Or lots less from me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My MR2 ones are in the same format as a paperback book, ie the spine and pages are glued together, to get a decent copy of the pages you will have to destroy the original but if you cater for that when pricing the copies up I'm sure you'll be able to buy a new set I asked my two local dealers about getting a set - one of them refused and then admitted he'd said no because he presumed I wouldn't want to pay the price he'd quote, the second dealer could get them but couldn't understand why I'd want them - I pointed out that £150 on manuals is a few hours of labour charges and that if you do the jobs yourself they seem cheap! I would have been lost without my MR2 ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400BHP Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 Thanks Michael, I'll get a proper printers to knock it up and do it all proffessional. I love the avatar...fantastic! I want one of those with the word rice off the scale!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Hi Chris, I'm 99% interested in a copy of both. This is only subject to the cost really, which i know you can't quote us yet. For pricing up copies can you put me down for a set please and let me know the cost like everybody else when you can Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Jackett Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 I'll have a copy, not sure a 'proper' printers will copy stuff that breaks copyright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400BHP Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 Right Guys, its in. I'm going to pick it up now and I'll look for a printers soon, (unless anyone knows one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Put me down for a copy please - price depending but i'm sure it'll be fine Cheers Stephen PS. When i questioned my local toyota dealer a few months ago about the manual they said there were 3 manuals:conf: any thoughts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400BHP Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 Right.. Update Gets down garage, and guess what, they fucked up and they didb't have them and said they cant get em any more. I get home, ring Toyota GB, have a pop at them, they tell me there is ONE copy of the chassis manual left but the engine one is kaput! I have rather large arguement with them and main dealer, (dealer says no, toy GB say yes) so now i'm still waiting for an answer from dealer to see if he can obtain the only copy left from head office. Hang in there guys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 What I find really scary is the prospect of Toyota mechanics working on cars without access to these manuals anymore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Martin F Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Originally posted by mcanny What I find really scary is the prospect of Toyota mechanics working on cars without access to these manuals anymore! Well considering i have just had to lend my manual to a Toyota dealer on behalf of another member and they still couldn't fix the problem i'd say that whether they have a manual or not won't make a lot of difference.

400BHP Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 Right People... The Chassis and Body Manual is here and its a whopper, its about the size of a London Yellow Pages and in the same format. I have managed to get the very last one from Toyota GB and there are no more available anywhere, the one I have is Head Office's own copy (not brand new). If I can find a printers that can copy the manual to either Paper or .pdf without damaging it then I will, if the only way to copy it is to wreck it then i'm not, as you will understand this is a very special book and i'm not willing to ruin it for a few quid. If anyone knows how I can do this or has any suggestions, please let me know.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
