Steven33 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Bit miffed that I bought a haynes manual for the focus just a few weeks ago to see they have started releasing online copies of manuals including colour photographs (could be very handy when trying to identify what the arrow is pointing at in those ridiculously grainy black and white photographs) and videos of common tasks. Been saying for years they should do electronic copies of their manuals and weeks after buying a hard copy, they actually do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Thats typical of them , are they pdf versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 i have just checked , £25 for one year subs and £30 for life time , but i think that is for one manual probably and its cloud based so you can't save them to your own PC. for me they can keep them !

Pitmonster Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 All my Haynes manuals have plenty of oily smudges and fingerprints on them. Not sure I want to be handling a laptop or iPad when doing an oil change or fitting new brakes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz93 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Maybe if they make them Kinect compatible?? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven33 Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 i did think it was a bit expensive. especially since they justified the recent lower quality paper and print on newer manuals as cost savings. So how they can charge that much for something that isn't actually printed is beyond me. Surely it is 90% if not more of what is just in the manuals anyway. But would have been nice to have the higher resolution pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitmonster Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I take it you can't also sell this on eBay if you change your car. Sounds a good idea in principle, but the more you look at it the worse a deal it becomes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_goral Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Has anyone tried these yet? Is there anyway to download them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 At that price , i would not look at them , you could probably screen shot and save the pages , but probably protected from right click and download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 If anyone does buy one, I would be tempted to ask if I could borrow your details, one way or another I am sure I could find a way to download the manuals :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_goral Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'm tempted to buy one just to see if it can be done. Although it's probably cheaper and less hassle to just buy one off eBay and scan it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giwrgos_ath Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I believe that it will be done. I can't think of a way to secure it from above-average users. Why don't you get a couple of your mates to chip in and buy one license? Then you will be able to play around with it without spending a fortune. Or you could simply share the login details...
