If someone from R.T buys it i'd be happy to PAY for a pdf copy. i'm sure plenty of other Ti owners would be as well so whoever buys it will make their money back

I have one and will get round to pdfing it.
But haven't had the time yet.

I have one as well (runs to two volumes)

Mine is also a genuine Rover manual, not a copy, so PDFs should be nice and clear

If anybody wants to borrow it to PDF it for the forum, please just let me know

HTH

how many pages is it roughly mate?

Raistlin · Post by **Raistlin** » Tue Mar 08, 2005 11:52 pm

Gotta be 2 or 3 hundred at a rough guess

Gary · Post by **Gary** » Tue Mar 08, 2005 11:55 pm

The Ti manual is certainly rare. Rover said they never made one, the lyers.

Most people have the 2 volume 600 manuals, which unfortunately doesnt cover any of the Ti's engine / gearbox etc, just the basics such as capacities/weights etc. About as useful as the Haynes manual for the 600.

dreaddan · Post by **dreaddan** » Tue Mar 08, 2005 11:55 pm

The Std 600 manual is what is in the RAVE.
The Ti suplements are worth doing.

I'll check to see if our scanner @ work is automamatic

Then I'll gladly scan, pdf and then host the pdf.

if anyone is willing to do the Ti supplement but does not have the pdf making software i can send them the adobe software

That would be good,defo after a copy.

Raistlin · Post by **Raistlin** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 4:11 pm

Boll*x

I must be having a senior moment.

My 600 manual doesn't, in fact, have the Ti supplement.

Sorry :oops:

Would be worth getting the copy that's up for grabs on E-Bay so that we all could benefit from it but there's no point in several RT members bidding against each other, IMO, thereby artificially inflating the price

Perhaps we could decide one of us to bid for it and then distribute it on a cascade basis to those who want a copy.

I could bid for it using my Auctionstealer subscription which might help to ensure that RT as a whole get's a copy if that's any use BUT, I DON'T want to tread on any toes guys, if anybody specifically wants to bid for it.

Guidance - yes or no please? Alternatively "do it" OR "f*** off and mind your own business and stop trying to organise things"

r44flyer · Post by **r44flyer** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 4:50 pm

sounds like a good idea, Paul. I'd certainly have a copy off whoever.

benno_bro · Post by **benno_bro** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 7:41 pm

then possibly break the book down..say one member does 15/100 pages to Pdf, rather than one poor bugger getting stuck with it

just a thought

Raistlin · Post by **Raistlin** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 8:29 pm

I MIGHT be able to get some photocopied at work

Grant620 · Post by **Grant620** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 8:39 pm

I have the supplement here.
Bought it from Rover when it was still available...
If people get stuck I might be able to help out.

daz500 · Post by **daz500** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 8:46 pm

I'd be up for chipping into the kitty for this if required.

Raistlin · Post by **Raistlin** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 8:50 pm

Grant has kindly said I can borrow his copy

If I can get it photocopied at work there would be no charge (except for postage)

The number I could do would depend on the number of pages of course

HTH

Raistlin · Post by **Raistlin** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 9:59 pm

OK

After a LONG webcam discussion with Grant, it seems I DO have the full turbo supplement. :oops:

I'm going to see if I can get our photocopier to run on auto tomorrow and then will print some copies off.

If I have to do it manually it will take ages.

Haven't a clue how to make PDFs though so possibly the first copy can go to someone who DOES know

Anyway - no need to buy it off e-bay now (unless you want to)

FYI - it's a total of 112 sheets - most of which are double sided - so approx 200 pages

r44flyer · Post by **r44flyer** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 10:36 pm

you could send it to me.

i have access to a super-duper photocopier that does double sided copies automatically

but it's not free

had 90 double sided pages copied once before at it was about Â£1.30 iirc, which i guess isn't too bad.

just thinking out loud

dreaddan · Post by **dreaddan** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 10:49 pm

I forgot to ask at work to see if the scanner is automatic.
If so I can pdf it at work.

Dan

Gary · Post by **Gary** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 10:52 pm

How do you know if a scanner will do PDFs? We have some huge photocopiers at work that can do fancy things such as double sided printing / colour printing / staple / bind / hole punch etc. But i have never seen anything about PDF on its screen.

dreaddan · Post by **dreaddan** » Wed Mar 09, 2005 10:55 pm

it's the software that will do the pdf'ing not the scanner.

Most software will produce tiffs of jpegs, which can be embedinto pdf's

Dan

PDF is a compression format by Adobe.
As in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Paul my version is original and is 119 pages so works out at 238 sides.
When I get a spare couple of hours I will PDF it.

Thanks Dave

In the meantime, I will do a few hard copies for those that want them, once I get to grips with the photocopier today

HOPPY · Post by **HOPPY** » Thu Mar 10, 2005 10:45 am

I'll have a copy please

Raistlin · Post by **Raistlin** » Thu Mar 10, 2005 11:03 am

OK

I managed to get THREE full copies of the manual printed before the clerks (and my colleagues) threw me out of the Clerks Room.

LMAO - managed to work out how to print them back to back as well so they are just like the original

They are now in folders and envelopes all ready to be posted.

Anybody want one?

I know Dave is going to try and get round to PDFing his copy but maybe somebody else will be able to do so from one of these sets

r44flyer · Post by **r44flyer** » Thu Mar 10, 2005 11:31 am

Yes I want one please Paul.

Can I give you a few quid to cover postage and ur trouble? by paypal?

cheers

Jim

daz500 · Post by **daz500** » Thu Mar 10, 2005 12:50 pm

It might be better to reserve copies for people who can convert these into PDF format.

I'll stick my name down for a hard copy if there are any left but I don't have time convert to PDF format.

HOPPY · Post by **HOPPY** » Thu Mar 10, 2005 1:16 pm

I'll have one as above

pretty please with cheeries on top :wink:
