Exclamation Still missing parts of Haynes?? + how can i remove headrest?

Hi!
two questions:
I've already asked about this but still no one has accepted the challenge of completing the missing chapters of the Haynes manual...
if anyone has it and can upload the few missing chapters/pages it would be greatly appreciated...

second, I've been trying to remove the head rest from the front seats in order to put a new cover on them but i can't find a handle or anything to remove them - does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks,
Tzvika

Certainly if you've got a low spec model like I had the headrests don't come off at all as they are part of the seat frame.

Re: Still missing parts of Haynes?? + how can i remove headrest?

Ive got an Uno 45 and the plastic headrests do come off.

If you unhook the material at the back on the bottom of the seat and reach up to the top, there are two clips (look like big hair clips) that slide into grooves in the metalrods that are part of the headrest.

All you need to do is slide them out and the headrest lifts off.

Why not get a cheap Haynes manual on Ebay instead of waiting for someone to break the law and upload copyrighted material?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...sPageName=WDVW

It's only 50p and yes, they will post to Israel.

Re: Still missing parts of Haynes?? + how can i remove headrest?

If the headrests have two round plastic-covered column-shaped supports, and if the headrest is padded and covered with seat material, it's easy. Just turn the posts 90 degrees outwards, and lift the head restraint off.

If the headrest is made of dark-coloured moulded foam, with the rectangular holes, then see chrisunoman's post :-)

By the way in case anyone else is thinking of taking the head restraints off, and leaving them off, don't. Whiplash injuries can last the rest of your life...

Exclamation Re: Still missing parts of Haynes?? + how can i remove headrest?

thnx for your help on removing headrests... will try it today...

abouyt the haynes manual:
i simply can't buy it on ebay since shipment to Israel would be very very expensive! i'm just asking that if someone has the original if he could take the time to upload the missing few chapters so that everyone (!) could enjoy the full and complete manual... i'm sure some people around here have it... just please make the affort for us!

thanks,
Tzvika

Re: Still missing parts of Haynes?? + how can i remove headrest?

I could ship a 1Kg parcel to Israel for £5, so you could get the Haynes manual for oooh, less than £10. And that's using the Royal Mail, the most expensive Option.

See http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/c...mediaId=400393
You are having a laugh claiming that it is expensive.

I would have considered it but it is such obvious copyright theft that I couldn't...

Copyright and Licences FAQs

Q 1-1: How much may I photocopy from books and journals?
A: For private study or non-commercial research you may copy, under "fair dealing":
* 5% or one chapter, whichever is greater, of a book
* 10% of a small book or report of 200 or fewer pages
* one article from any one issue of a journal

Otherwise all the handouts you got at school would all be illegal.....
