Hi all i was just wondering if any one had found an english pdf manual,
I dont mind paying for it.

i have found one entirely in ITALIAN........

but that doesnt help me much, i did a search and all i found was some on saying go buy a haynes manual, but i'm not so keen on them, they never seem to cover what i am looking for and they are far to Generic, before you tell me i dont know what i'm talking about........... i'm a Technical author so i write manuals for a living

thank you muchly

The only ones I know of are in Polish and Italian. I did try and buy one of the English ones (the originals, printed out) from someone on ClubCento, but we couldn't agree on price....... They very rarely come up, but do exist. They are huge!

I agree on what you say about the Haynes, but in many ways its sheer brevity is in its favour. The pdf ones are unsearcheable, and it takes an awefull lot of time to find what you want/need.

Chances are that you'd find the English one a pain too, if only because FIAT's technical translators are not very good: the manuals they produce today are far worse than the Lancia ones produced 25 years ago.

nothing in particular, i just find them far more usefull, i have got a haynes manual for the cinq. i reciently downloaded a manual for my Integra type R and that was 1300 pages, i printed it at work and is so much more helpfull than the haynes version that may be 100 pages. it lists evry thing and has the best trouble shooting section i have ever seen, and yea i do understand about fiats translators.... but honda managed to do it just dandy


i know its a bit random but if any one else has a honda (bikes & cars) you can find the PDF manuals for free at www.hondahookup.com/manuals

For what car? I uploaded the one for the Sei somewhere ages ago, it's still available here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ON0MKAM7 if that helps.

I think he wants the Cinq one. But does your Sei one cover the MPI?

AFAIK no, it doesn't. What are the main differences? Aren't they very similar apart from cosmetic things, fueling, ECU, speedo and rev counter, etc?

Yes, but those are the important bits! So far, no one (AFAIK) has managed to get hold of an MPI Sei manual. I have the SPI one...........
