Europe Technical and Maintenance manuals

[Jean Mercier]

When will we have access to the 'before launch' "promised" maintenance and technical manuals?
Some of us are already owners since more than two years, and no access at all!

asked and answered

So what was the answer as I , among others, must have missed it
Was it they are have technical issues and don’t want the server overloaded BS or some other excuse

Patience grasshopper. Interview ran nearly three hours. Lots to sort through and edit but all will be shared.

I have all the patience in the world because I haven’t bought an grenadier yet, my position and attitude would be vastly different if I had bought on the initial promises and hype
Grasshopper will patiently sit , wait and watch like a wise old man but more like Yoda than Grasshopper

Stu- I really don‘t get it….maybe because of my limited language skills ….however, can you explain what the answer is or was? Sorry to bother u.

Probably this will be answered in the next Podcast

Like it was answered in the call with Tom months ago but it sounds like it’s already been stated here at some stage not something that is coming

 

[CrazyOldMan]

I think @Jean Mercier is correct - it will be in the podcast but they’re editing it since it was a 3 hour interview. This has better be good, @Stu_Barnes. You can’t just drop those kinds of teasers and then it is a bunch of corporate nonsense. Like “angels we have heard on high” good, or @Jean Mercier goes full-on Terminator mode. Nobody wants to see that.

I hope we are wrong, but I am not very optimistic: promised, new promises and promises and promises, but nothing. And the system exists, most of us have seen bribes of the technical manuals, and they look good, but only the official dealers have access.

Long time Toyota guy, dipping my toe in with a Grenadier (delivered Friday). Access to the factory service manual, parts fiches, and dealer parts network at reasonable prices keeps us Toyota guys happy over decades. Please make the Grenadier experience as good or better, that's how you'll win us over. Holding on to my Land Cruisers until I see which way this turns out...

A basic easily printable line drawing b&w pdf version that takes up less data would be a nice feature as part of the online 3D interactive version that has been shown.

Personally I think STU et al have been misled, I believe IA have no intention of releasing the full workshop manuals to owners despite this being a documented commitment and a major reason I bought one!
Sorry Jean, I just don’t see it happening, I’ll just have to wait for the bootleg copies to surface like VAGCOM and MB Star.. etc

 

[NQ94]

What do people want to see in the owner version of workshop manuals?
Ineos asking this could be more helpful in making a publicly available workshop manual.
As DIYers there is going to be irrelevant information in the manuals and specialised jobs and that most people and some workshops won't be equipped to do.
Maybe a poll is required to give Ineos some direction for what people want in the manuals.

I have yet to find a job in a Toyota Factory Service Manual that I can't tackle, but I have a well equipped shop and four decades of tool accumulation as a do it yourself shade tree mechanic.
