Guest Peter James Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Follow these instructions; 1) Go to this link and download the free 637MB ISO file. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KNDE45W5 (you have to wait a minute if using the free 'Regular Download' service, instead of the chargeable faster speed download.) 2) Burn the file on to a CD 3) Remove and replace the CD in your CD ROM drive Your Free X2/50 full workshop manual will open. Download it now whilst its there!
stewartkingswood Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Hi Peter, Well spotted!!! Thanks very much for the heads up I have been looking for the manual for some time with no luck. Downloading as we speak. Thanks again Stewart
tonyishuk Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Installs as an eLearn program, contains some quite useful information for 2.2, 2.3 and 3.0 litre model BTW I use Deamon Lite to read the iso file, rather than having to burn a disc. The prog works as a "soft Diskdrive" Rgds
Guest Peter James Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 tonyishuk - 2011-12-18 5:21 PM BTW I use Deamon Lite to read the iso file, rather than having to burn a disc. The prog works as a "soft Diskdrive" Rgds Thats interesting - I would like to be able to use it without waiting for it to load from the CD Rom. Theres a lot of info on it, but not necessarily where you would expect to find it. Because its a translation from Italian and they don't always use thesame words we would. For instance 'Dismantling and Reassembly' comes under the heading of 'Proceedures' If you are going to use it, you really need to spend half an hour clicking on all the links first to see where they lead. Those who have had a CD ROM from me don't bother downloading it as its the same elearn manual
Guest peter Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Peter James - 2011-12-18 5:38 PM Those who have had a CD ROM from me don't bother downloading it as its the same elearn manualAnd it's all in Italian, so not a lot of use really. But thanks for the link anyway to the O/P. :D
jhorsf Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Well Peter if you looked further you would see its also in english as a drop down menu from Italian
Guest peter Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 Ooooops....sorry to the O/P, that'll teach me to go spouting off without further investigation. :-( Thanks for enlightening me.. :D
Guest Peter James Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 No probs, I missed things the first time saw it too. There is a lot on there thats easily missed. You really need to run your mouse over every page and click every link to find it.
Guest Peter James Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 You're Welcome. If you can get it to work straight from the hard drive like tonyishuk above, instead of a CD, that would be best, because the PC reads from the hard drive a lot faster than the CD Rom drive, so the pages would load quicker when you click on them.
stewartkingswood Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Peter, There are many iso. file readers on the net some free some payware Roxio is one of the better ones or Nero. However there are a lot of excellent freeware ones, just search on google for iso readers/writers and take your pick. Thanks Again Stewart
Guest Peter James Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Thanks for the Info Stewart. I found this one WinCD http://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/ Which reads or as they call it 'mounts' the downloaded ISO file into a simulated CD Rom drive. So this way you don't need to burn the downloaded ISO file on to a CD to read it, and I think it works a bit faster too. :-D
jhorsf Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 I used Roxio to mount the image as a virtual disc and it works fine
tonyishuk Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Just a word of warning / advice If you install a "soft DVD Drive" you may find that some PCs / Laptops will slow down when starting up as they will mount the drive (Techy term for connect !) Usually there is an option to un-mount the drive in the software after use. Rgds Slightly O/T but the use of a soft drive is usful because you can copy disc images such as the ASCI camp disc and not have to carry the discs.
BIFFO Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Excuse my ignorance ........but I don't suppose it's available for I pad. I'm new to computers and tablet thingys Happy Christmas to all B-)

I'm new to computers and tablet thingys Happy Christmas to all B-) Dunno. My missis said something about I pod for Christmas. But I'd never heard of it. I've heard of I ron. So I've got her one of those :-)

Just discovered the CD was still in the drive, and it was working on that.:$ Still doesn't work when I take the CD out, either on WinCD or Nero. So I'll stick with using it on CD for now.
Brambles Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Peter, I am using Daemon Lite and works fine with this.
Guest Peter James Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Brambles - 2011-12-23 5:46 PM Peter, I am using Daemon Lite and works fine with this. Yep, Downloaded and installed the free version of Daemon Lite and it works fine for me too. Using the ISO file through Daemon Lite, instead of reading from the CD, brings the pages up on screen much faster. Many Thanks :-)
grahamw Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Thanks for the information on this. With regard to the data on wiring details it appears to fail to display any images. Anyone got any ideas on this as I would find this extremely useful. Graham
