This is a brilliant find. Just working my way through it now to trouble shoot the VZ ute. Thanks Paul. BTW the link should be in FAQ's.

Does this archive contain the 6.0 VXR LS2, I can seem to find it so was wondering if its under a different name?

I've had to download the file into MegaSync but when it's in there I cannot find for the life of me a way of extracting the file but when you click on the file or right click the filw in Megasync, there is seemingly no way of extracting the file...help!

Damn there is a lot of info in that file. Does anyone know which section the Monaro is? I've done a search in the PDF's for GTO and other models and I'm struggling to find it. Anyone know the main file name so I can search in there?

The only pdf you should open is the one called "main menu" from then on you click the relevent links within the pdf and the index list on the left of the page. Ignore all the other files they are all accessed via the links in the main pdf and open automatically as you navigate through the index

Maybe go back over this thread and double check that

A. You have downloaded the file from mega to your pc (I've tried it on andriod phone and tablet and it didn't work so PC only for me )
B. That you have then extracted the content of the zip file to a folder on your pc
C. That you have adobe reader installed on pc to run the pdf
D. You double click the main menu pdf then you should be able to navigate all the information from within that window via links in the index

If you've done all that and it still doesn't work im not sure why. i have it on windows 7 and 10 no problems

Frustratingly I've done all of that. I have all the files on my PC and adobe and I can see a huge amount of files but when I click on the main menu, nothing. I have looked against the downloaded files and where it says main menu it only says its 43KB so bit confused.

So in the extracted folder you have 2 files
_MACOSX
And
VTVZ_GHM_SMI
When you open VTVZ_GHM_SMI you find
Main Menu pdf (34KB on mine)
Double click that and you should get this

I get all of that. I guess when I double clicked on the main menu section (exactly as shown) I was expecting it to take me somewhere but soon realised that it was too small as a page to do anything else...Or I am just to use this as a guide in terms of where to then go and look through the rest of the files. Am I right in thinking VZ being related to the Monaro?

Thanks for the feedback. I thought that doing what you suggested would also a menu but in my case nothing happens when I click on anywhere on that page, so I'm a bit stumped.

Having looked through the files extensively, all I can see is some basic info on the LS1 variant and can't find anything on the equivalent Aussie LS2 Monaro. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
