probably just a guy trying to make a quick buck off a pirated one? i don't doubt its legit but you could cut out the middleman and download one yourself (search around there are heaps floating on the internet, e.g. google: suzukiinfo jimny)
imho paying for a cd one is pointless, its almost definitely a pirated one. paying for a real flesh and paper one is worth it though, and easier to read when under the car

I have one of the cheap CD's and it turned out to be for a rather outdated model. I have not found a paper one for the recent models 2009 +. Suzuki themselves do not sell one. If you find one I would like to have the details. Even one on the CD that covers the later models would be good to have.

I've got em all downloaded free off the web. Every single variation of Jimny - it's all out there.
Before you ask, no I can't email it - file size is too big.

Has any company EVER made a paper copy of a jimny manual? I have searched far and wide and never seen anything but virtual copies which makes it hard to drag the computer out under the car with you or spend a bucketload on ink and print the sucker out only to have a mess of paper and pages going everywhere! If anybody does know of the mythical hard cover manual being available please share as I am willing to pay whatever to get my grubby mits on one!

take the P/N of the manual to suzuki and order. easy. be careful what you wish for re: price... P/N are at bigjimny here https://www.bigjimny.com/index.php/info ... ls-v15-292once youve done that and realised that the cost is more than the weight of the book in gold, you could probably see if you could find a dodgy printing shop somewhere and get them to print it out for you. ive tried that, failed miserably. Ive had manuals printed at work before though, taken to a copy shop and got them to bind it for me PROPERLY (not those dodgy plastic ring or steel ring jobs) costs about 40 bucks. They kinda looked at me and mumbled "copyright" ahem blah blah, but they still did it without any pursuasion, guess cos they didnt do the print. just say its for home use so you dont destroy your original.
