"easymanuals" And Other Workshop And Repair Manuals

[aspire_helen]

Hi

Has anyone bought one of the various Citroen workshop&repair manuals on sale at www.esymanuals.co.uk?  One for the C5 linked here is £7.99 for circa 13Gb download or DVD   at    https://www.easymanuals.co.uk/product/citroen-c5-workshop-service-repair-manual/.  

The website claims:

"Get the same level of information about your vehicle that your official dealer has. Every single element of service, repair and maintenance is included in this fully updated workshop manual. From changing a wiper blade to a full engine rebuild, every procedure is covered with simple step by step illustrated instructions."

If so, how good is it?

Does anyone recommend any other  alternative to Haynes?

I would go for the citroen service box which has Citroen's own procedures/parts diagrams/wiring diagrams but go for the most up to date version. If you went for a download the time taken can be many hours depending on your internet speed, for me this would be a no go since our speed is only just good enough to use this forum, never mind things like u tube. As an example on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Citroen-Service-Box-1-2014-TIS-EPC-WDS-/381321373493

Hi  I tried for the downloaded version and it was a load of poo. Waste of time but of course they have you money by the time you have it downloaded and they wont can't give you a refund . It's up to you.

I tried to get the emanualsonline.com download about 6 weeks ago but the size of the file could not be accepted by my paltry laptop. The emanuals guy I spoke to asked me to install a programme whereby he could control my laptop and install it in sections (he asked me not to tell anyone else about this as he said he would get into trouble, so keep it to yourself. Lol).

The upshot was, he set it away to download at 7pm, he came back on at 1 pm to download some more, at 8am my laptop locked up and stopped responding so i had to switch off and restart, of course you can guess the rest, I lost the whole lt.

Couldn't be bothered messing around anymore, lost my tenner, but learned a lesson, STEER CLEAR
