    I've never seen a free downloadable version.....best paper one is Gregorys....second hand they go for $10 to $20...also are on Ebay. Or you can borrow the manual from your local library. Lifeline and Salvos carry manuals 2nd hand.

    Gregories is OK-Good at best, I'd love to get my hands on a GMH One or CD.
    But it seems they come in Volumes which bookstores sell $100 each, and it's about 16 volumes.

    The original manuals used to be on ebay in cd form for about $10.00. Had everything exept the wiring diagrams.

    i got mine a month ago, went to supercheep and found both a gregorys one and a max ellery one both out of the plasic, flicked through both ans found gregorys to be better although the max ellery one had a nicer cover, thats really not much good when the contents is below average

    Ive got a VN to VS,V6 and V8 haynes manual,as well as the VSV6 gregorys manual, and the haynes one is useless compared to the gregorys,especially when it comes to the wiring diagrams.Ive noticed that some of the pics in the haynes one is actually from a gregorys manual.I wonder if gregorys know that haynes used copies of their pics.

    no just shit, they don't go into it as well as gregorys, i was stupid and bough a max ellery instead of waiting a week for the other.
