The CD I have has dodgy scans on from memory. I like the idea of using the proper thing. I would imagine they used this rather than manuals in the OPCs?

That makes sense Watchcam - from my point of view the scans are excellent on the CD apart from the wiring diagrams which fade in some parts though never to point where I can't read the info I need, but bigger nuisance is diagrams breaking over sheets. Would be save eyestrain to have original wiring diagram!

I think OPCs used the binder sets and the microfiche version was produced to provide a (much) cheaper alternative when the cars were production models.

All the best Brett :)

Ebay is the place Brett ... I will treat myself for Xmas I think. Decent ones seem to go for £30.

:) I finally managed to buy a set of manuals off of ebay, I wanted these rather than the CD as I doubt it's practical to print them from the disc and I don't have a laptop to take in the garage with me to refer to if needed. :)

Did you buy that nice set for £185 today?

Outbid me but you still got a bargain. People pay over double that for a set.

:) Indeed it was I that bought those, I didn't really want to pay that much but I've seen them go for more and I have no idea of my way round a 928 yet so I thought they may come in handy. :)
