Hi Ino

I have been looking to get a workshop manual for the vdj V8 but have not found who is selling it. I have not tried Toyota yet as I think they might be a tad expensive.

Where did you get yours and how much.

Serendipity - any Toyota authorized parts store should be able to get it for you. It is a pain of a thing to get them to find the part number - because it doesn't show up at a quick glance (and that's all you usually get).

Get them to get you PN: SC0580E - it is a CDROM - in a green case - much like the old Toyota repair manuals. They should charge you around $168 - but that is money well spent - you actually get the repair manuals for all the Troopies - back to 1990.

When you put the CDROM in for the first time - you have to enter a serial number - which is on the inside of the sleeve of the case.

Also - the manuals for the 2007 and onwards series, you will find them under the "supplement" menus (i.e. New Car Features Supplement, Repair Manual Supplement, Electrical wiring diagram supplement, and so on and so forth).

Cheers,

Ino!~
