I just bought one on Ebay for $6.00. The guy said he copies the Helm manual onto CD and the point and click index featue works. I was concerned that perhaps I would have to load all 1300 pages onto PDF files all at once each time I used it. OMG that would take hours.

Anyone else bought one of these? Any problems?

thank you,

You have bought an illegally copied manual and are subject to prosecution for such.

We have had discussions with Helms about these CD's and links to websites with that info and they are not happy about it. We told them that we will not allow the sale or linking of helms information here and will forward anything we can to help them stop the pirating of information.

The last I heard the files you bought are worthless.

 

but on CD you wont be able to have it out when youre working on the car, unless you bring a laptop out with you in your garage or driveway

 

can alwez print'em out....hardcopies rock what's not rocking is that I can't find any stores carrying car maintenance guides where I stay...weak

 

if u cant get one wher u live, then u can contact the publisher/manufactuer of the book you want, and theyd be more than happy to get you one........

the only computer file thing worth anymoney is the entire honda factory service manual, the one that honda makes and sells to shops.....pirating that is ghey too

stolen/pirated **** that relates to cars
"stolen/pirated" media (that u can record off the TV or Radio)

Pwned by a Mod

 

I bought a new helms manual for my car and it was definitely worth it.

 

alrite alrite....digging 4 more info on Helm & Chilton....too much piracy on ebay thou....those CD's & stuffs....how many of'em are legal?...saw Hayes too....all these terms are alien to me....

I never opened even a screw of my CD5....only tightened the gas tank cover 13mm(?) hex....once...

 

they are all illegal unless u get them from a store (never heard of a cd car manual at a pep boys), or from the manufactuerer (who dont put them on cd)...in other words, theyre all illegal

ive got a haynes....not super duper indepth, but straight to the point and informative......

 

I'm not subject to any such prosecution. First of all it was advertised as a Helms manual, and there has to be mens rea, which is absolutely insane to think I could even know about that. And then Ebay would liable for allowing it, etc., etc. Please grow up.

Besides I haven't actually purchased it yet.


Was waiting to hear from people here. Btw, this site has a thread that provides for the F R E E downloading of this manual. Remember the lesson about throwing stones.

I did. And I bought one. It was a Popular Mechanics CD. Got it at Autozone for $20.

Stop post whoring or this will be reported.

 

What does post whoring mean?

 

8. There will be no post-whoring. If there is a topic that you do not like then simply IM me and as soon as I see it it will be gone. THERE IS NO NEED TO POST 5 TIMES IN ONE THREAD JUST TO SAY HOW RETARDED THE THREAD AND ITS STARTER ARE. Once? sure whatever, but 5 and 6 times is simply ridiculous because all you’re doing it getting the retarded topic to the top and you’re moving good threads to the bottom.
