Ralph Dodds has kindly said he will ask TVR to make this available via TVRCC. So if your a TVRCC member please lobby on the Wedge forum.

"However I will make sure that it is in tomorrow's post, sent recorded delivery to you. I will send you the ref number by e-mail tomorrow" - well, it's 19:45 (ish) and no e-mail received. If that's the case tomorrow morning, I'll be on to Ebay with a complaint - Streaky

Guess what guys? - just received much the same e-mail as yourselves! Like you, I'll give the benefit of the doubt for now but getting a bit 'twitchy' I must admit!

OK, I got an "item despatched" message timed at 22:11, and I have a consignment number for 48 hour delivery from tomorrow (18th). Watch this space! - Streaky

Got the same message around the same time as well. I think the delivery tracking number may even be the same.

My tracking number indicates delivery tomorrow (19 May). My number ends '1637', it can't be the same for us all - Streaky

12:00 ... it's arrived!

Chunky thing too. A photocopy but clear although some bleeding through of the reverse page (intensity set too high?). pages of the index covering sections A through R are missing and I'll ask for those to be posted to me.

Leafing through it I notice some lists of parts to accompany the pictures have no entries. Basically section M onwards. If anyone has an original, is that the case in yours?

Thx - Streaky

That is normal. In fact most of the pages don't have that parts list. The parts numbers have also been changed so be careful if you use them.

Why dont you guys do what us 'M100 LOtus Elaners' have done,

for the good of the marque we have organised and distributed amongst us a complete CD rom with all parts and service bulletins for the cost of a pint.
(as a back up for our hard copies of course )

And woo betide anyone who puts it on e-bay for profit, our boys with IT connections put pay to that idea, with some rather difficult to trace e-bay accounts... we normally find the item gets withdrawn

TVR own the copyright and their permission is needed to reprint/copy any of their material... especially internal documentation. The TVRCC is currently trying to get permission to reprint this document.

To be honest.. very limited use as it doesn't have all the part numbers and the numbers it does have are the TVR ones and these have been superceeded IIRC.

TVR did allow me to use the diagrams in it for the Wedge bible.

I am also missing:

Section B - in its entirety
Page C3 (both sides)
Page G3 - diagram
Section header page for section H
Section I (eye) - in its entirety
Page N3 - diagram
Page V3 - diagram

and have asked for these to be posted.

What about you (Steve & Dave)?

Steve - the diagrams are the most helpful, they complement the Bible.

That'll be good. Just got a reply from him saying "difficult to imagine these are missing". Some of the "missing" pages just had an image on them (from the photocopier hood?) - ghost of this can be seen as a "T" on many pages in my copy - Streaky

Well, I never! Just got an e-mail from seller to say his hard drive is corrupt and he can't supply the missing pages ... so he's given me a full refund!

Can't say fairer than that, can you?

After a quick flick through last night it appears much the same with a few pictures and lists missing, also only one page of the index is there. Time permitting i will check exactly whats missing tonight. Perhaps we can make a full set between us all

Just caught up with my e-mail and, like Streaky, have received a full refund and an email to say keep what there is of the manual. Turned out to be a top man after all!

I e-mailed him on thursday, got home late last night and I too got a full refund. Top bloke as you say.
Despite some mising pages it should still be very useful.
