Hey guys,

I'm aware you can get a service manual in PDF online but im chasing a hardcopy if any of you have one or know where to look?

Cheers

[fordem]

You do realize that pdf copies can be printed?

[MrRocky]

Look on ebay, thats where i got mine. Might take a while but they do pop up regularly. Expect to pay anywhere from $30 - $100

Cheers for stating the obvious. I’m a collector of Suzuki’s I just want the hardcopy to add to my collection

Yeah been searching ebay. Guess I’ll have to wait till one comes up

[ozzycouch]

Might help others looking, no earlier models though

Haynes manuals are worse than no manual at all. Factory or figure it out yourself IMHO.

Also you can get a Printing Co. to print out on pro. paper and then bind it if you give them the PDF.

As stated Haynes & Gregory's Manuals are useless,i check new Suzuki Listings on Ebay almost daily and i haven't seen a Factory Paper Manual for any model Sierra for years.

[MrRocky]

There were 2 or 3 lj80 manuals on ebay a couple months ago. I know because i got one of them, they hardly sold like hotcakes were up for months. Just check ebay.com daily, some listings although aussie dont bother with listing locally on .com.au

Yeah,they are on Ebay all the time but not the Factory Manual,usually Haynes or Gregory's,i haven't seen a paper Factory manual for years. If the OP wants a Haynes/Gregory etc. Manual just wait for Repco/SC to have a 20% off sale and go buy a pristine one for the same price as Ebay.

[MrRocky]

I was refering to the factory manuals. Like i said, had my pick of 3 that sat on ebay for months. Just need to be patient, they do come up suprisingly often as do the lj50 ones

or.....hit up your state library system,

Here in W.A. the state library [Battye library] try to keep copies of all techy type books, and there are copies of practically everything on the shelf.
I had my first lj50 and 80 manuals ordered in from the Perth library stores by my shire library, they were pristine - so I photocopied them so they wouldn't get covered in Castrol R before returning them.
They are probably still there.

For w.a you can't take the manuals home because to many people never returned them, you can copy what you want out of them and flick through them at the library though.

They can get practically anything anything in and it's free. All our libraries are a connected system so you aren't limited to what they have on the shelf.

jeez.......times must have changed since '88!!

either that or the awesomely hot young lass running the Chittering Shire office, council works depot and library back then must have trusted me more than the average bloke!

Battye library even have one of the few existing "Aussie spec" Mahindra CJ3 factory service manuals in their possession, which will probably rot on the shelf

[MrRocky]

Heres a 50 workshop manual $30

10% or you breach copy right laws, but Cairns library doesn't check. To be used for research or study.
