Factory workshop manual on ebay 99p start.
Produced the series 1 but still very useful for all 3 series.
I have one of these and they are well worth adding to your collection.

Some factory manuals are still available from Mazdatrix, although the 1984 manual is not, well worth the cost. If anyone orders these ask for the package to be marked technical manuals as it used to be exempt from import duty.

Thats a good offer.... Of course I would like it!
 
I have driven past Anglo Welsh about 4 times in the last 2 days - there is a scruffy little bodyshop over the bridge and about half a mile on the left opposite the prison that has been doing some work on my wife\'s MGF.....
 
The offer of a cup of tea still stand by the way...

John your manual is waiting for you at Anglo Welsh.
Funny how things happen, called Matt today to ask if he would hold onto the manual for you if I could get it there and he said he was coming up to Stafford today.
Better than our postal service.

Don\'t worry John I\'ve spent the last couple of evenings staring at a Microtech wiring diagram and reading the full PDF of the Series 5 FSM so you are not alone.

Hi John - Happy New Year.

Just read this post. I never realised that you were bidding on this manual :Hammerbut I too was thinking the same on the price.
When it disappeared from eBay I sent a message to the seller to find out what had happened. He explained there was a problem with his PayPal account so he closed all of his auctions until it was put right - hence why it finished early.

Nevertheless I won this auction. My intentions are to scan and post it on the Sticky for Workshop Manuals so that everyone has an opportunity to view and use it.

How much did it cost?

Absolutely!  Fair play to you for considering it. I had the book long before I found the PDF on the net and thought about scanning it all.... until I realised how much work was involved and how long it would take, then I binned the idea!

I downloaded it for free from somewhere and everyone else will be able to get it for free as well as soon as I get chance to upload it.
I\'ll try and do it this evening.

Understand why you binned the idea Ian - to do it would actually have meant the spine of the book would be damaged so excellent shout by you to offer this in pdf format.
If I were to have done this, I would have used the one at work (after hours of course) which is fairly new and would have made the job a lot easier and so much quicker.
