Zagit, I think you should buy it and tell us if it's any good. I'd buy one if it's SEARCHABLE, which means you can do a keyword search and it bring you to that PDF page.

The parts list I have in PDF format is 360 pages long and you must sift through page after page to get to the part you need, mostly by looking at the drawings on the left hand side pages.

If this is the same, then I'd say it's not worth the money.

It's good, but only current up to 2002, most things are the same though. It's about 18 PDF files. This is assuming it's the same as the one I came across on CD.

i bought it off one of those ebay things - paid a fair bit but I needed it to do some maintenance

I live in Australia, I could burn it for you and send it on CD if you like for $30?
