    Anyone know were I can get one for YV’s? I don’t even know if there is any floating around, but figured someone on the forums might know a place that sells/acquires them :wave:

    Try auto accessory places like Repco and Auto One.

    I bought my VT-VY manual off ebay new for $40. It is a Max Ellery and it is not the best but better than nothing. Lots of typo's and the pictures change from VT to VY without warning, so you need to look and read several times to work out what is being presented. It has come in handy, as I own a VT2 and a VY.
    Regards, Mark

    cheers

    Thanks for that, I had considered ebay, but i was told basically the same thing...that there terribly typed and hard to understand. Might give Auto One a shot, they didn’t have anything at repco.

    Cheers

    Do you have an Autobarn shop or equivalent anywhere near you? If so there is a soft cover workshop manual for the VY's (1 & 2) available and I believe it is a Max Ellery. I picked mine up for $49 or there abouts and seeing as I'm not exactly a car guru am yet to actually use it.

    The other option is to pay GMH $251+ for their Cd which cover the lot about the VY's & the HSV derivates.

    Let me know if you manage to buy a genuine GMH workshop manual for the VY. I bought the CD because the book wasn't available.

    Yeah thats what they told me to at first. :rolleyes:

    CD on Ebay

    Well, I bought the CD Workshop Manual on Ebay.

    It is real, and registered without any troubles.

    Looks really good, though obviously dearer than the others.

    I am happy at the $100 that I paid.
