Looking for Gen 3 Manual (Handbook)

[AnguillaKen]

In my first post to this nuthouse (and yes, I've been warned to watch out for the squirrel), biohazard told me about this resource for downloading Hilux manuals...

http://forums.bauchan.org/portal/downloads.php?dcid=16

Unfortunately, the pdf for the Gen 2 manual can't be opened. Or at least, I can't after two attempts and I see no way to change its permissions.

Does anyone have a Gen 3 manual or handbook? I don't usually read them when I get a car (I'm more the "step on gas-car goes" type), but the Hilux really has me intrigued and I'd like to learn as much as possible about it.

Sorry if I missed this in the forums. I think a lot of us newbies would really benefit from a PDF of this. If not, does anyone have a Gen 3 maintenance schedule (I assume that's what I need, with a 1999 SSR-X)?

Thanks very much.

All the best,
Ken

Have a look here. www.roughtrax4x4.com

They have a handbook @ £17.99 and aworkshop manual @ £24.95

Not sure how good they are ??

I assume you're running Windoze? One of the chaps on here should be able to give you an idea on changing perms.

I'm running a 2 year old laptop on XP and it's downloading right now. pm your email and I'll send it on.

EDIT :You're a 3rd gen so why are you looking at the 2'nd gen manual ?

[AnguillaKen]

Couldn't find a 3rd gen manual, wishbone (I'd rather have one). I'm using a Mac, MattF. And ian2144, that was a great lead...

But they don't seem to ship outside of the U.K./Ireland. It wouldn't have arrived here in this millennium, in any event. ;-)

wishbone, I'll PM you my e-mail address.

Thanks a million, all. If anyone has a PDF for 3rd gen, please do let me know. I understand the 2nd gen isn't all that diff, except for the diff. :-)

If you're on a Mac, (assuming OSX+)? from a terminal type: chmod 755 [/path/to/zipfile]

You should be able to extract it then.

Thanks very much, found Gen 3 Manual

Thanks very much, MattF. That's a bit beyond me. But I did find the handbook at Amazon UK. It wasn't in stock, but unlike other locations selling a hard copy, they will ship here.

A Gen 3 PDF of the user's manual/handbook would have been ideal, but that just doesn't seem to be available online.

Thanks again,
Ken

Could you do me a favour, perchance? I've popped the file here too:

http://outgoing.bauchan.org/surf_2nd...ers_manual.zip

Could you just see if you can download and extract/view that one okay?

you're such a nerd!

Is that nerd or geek?

What's that old saying regarding imitation?

Get your head stuck in the MAN pages Wodder's. They'll do you a world of good.

Gen 2 Handbook Still Wont' Open On Mac

Thanks very much for trying, Matt (geek or nerd, you're the best both ways!).

I downloaded from your URL, but I get the same message when trying to open...

"The file “surf_2ndgen_owners_manual.pdf ” could not be opened because you do not have appropriate access privileges."

When I "get info," it says that I have "no access" and it does not provide the ability to change that.

Thanks again,
Ken
