Who the hell would pay $990. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>They've priced so high to discourage people and most importantly workshops from buying them.That way you have to take your car to their dealerships to get any work done.Pity most of the mechanics ooops (technicians) don't have a clue macka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford do not publish it themselves but licence it to a third party. That is why they are so expensive. The AU, also three volumes, is $590.There is a non-genuine version published by Ellerys at $50. I haven't tried an Ellerys, but I am not impressed with Gregorys' or Haynes' manuals when compared to the genuine article.I contacted Pitstop to ask about the Ellerys manual, they contacted Ellerys direct and it appears there isn't a manual yet for the BA........Wish someone would hurry up and bring one out, it has only been 2 years!

Guest Guests Posted 20/11/04 09:30 PM Share Posted 20/11/04 09:30 PM Ive got photo copys of about 1/2 this book, a mate of mine got it given to him from a friend a year ago when he got his GT.Don't think its worth the price, theres not that in there for a moder that you couldn't get off the net from someone.If I'd known they were that much I'd have tried to get one for me .

cqae Member 229 Member For: 21y 1m 26d Posted 23/11/04 04:26 AM Share Posted 23/11/04 04:26 AM I can probably get a cd version of it when I know how much it is maybe a few of us can split the cost? probably not the right thing to do, but at $990 a copy they gotta expect that. I dont think the version I can get is quite that much but when my manual supplier gets a hold of it, I will let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cqae Member 229 Member For: 21y 1m 26d Posted 23/11/04 10:51 AM Share Posted 23/11/04 10:51 AM I remember asking my book supplier when I first bought my ute, and when he told me the price I told him to forget it. but if I get enough people in I will buy it and copy for everyone. I have spent thousands on manuals over the years but 990 for one model seems excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
