I'm after it

I'm after it

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

its a copy. he brought the orrigianal for £160 beating me. hes going to be putting loads on there

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?

Gotta be 2 or 3 hundred at a rough guess

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.

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.

Dan

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.

Boll*x

I must be having a senior moment.

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

Sorry

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"

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

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

I MIGHT be able to get some photocopied at work

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.

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

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

OK

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

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

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 £1.30 iirc, which i guess isn't too bad.

just thinking out loud

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

Dan

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.

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.

i'd be up for that or anyone else's idea lol inc covering your costs etc. i just want this manual lol!!!

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

I'll have a copy please

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

Yes I want one please Paul.

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

cheers

Jim

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.

I'll have one as above

pretty please with cheeries on top
