Thankyou thankyou thankyou 8)

I had resigned myself to shelling out £200+ for an original manual on Fleabay and have watched a few in the last few weeks. Not any more.

Looks like the printer at work will be seeing some action tomorrow :wink:

Well its printed ok, the wording and spec sheets are clear, the diagrams are a little bit difficult to see all the detail on, but given that it hasnt cost me anything I'm well chuffed 8)

Just checked the web links page on that site and no sign of a manual any more. You guys aren't talking about the P.E.T documents are you? Those have always been available for download from Porsche.

If you did manage to get an electronic copy of a manual would someone please email it too me? james dot fitzsimons at gmail dot com.

Cheers!

Shame- I am pretty sure a few people here have the manual on disc, however.

Hi All
may I recommend the Elfrink manual for your general 356 repairs, it is packed with plenty of technical imformation whilst procedures used are described in a fairly easy to understand practical way and show how to get the same results as the factory without many of the "special" tools. These manuals often turn up on Ebay etc and are not expensive and will fit in a 356 too being the size of a paperback, Bill.
I am a person of simple pleasures so if you don't have any simple pleasures to offer me, beer, pizza or Porsche bits etc kindly leave me be, XX.
