At a guess, I'd say the dealer you bought the car from ... have you asked?

Have you Aussies got ebay? Mitsu manuals on CDrom are $5.00 US
Hi, I was hoping to get a third party manual. The dealer has already made enough money from the options.
Thanks.
Hi, Yes we have ebay, but I don't trust it. Too many complaints of goods not being received. I would prefer a hard copy that covers the whole vehicle rather than a ROM that may be lacking in info.
Thanks.
Hi, Thanks for the reply but I'm more against paying someone $5US + currency exchange rate + currency conversion charges (~$8AUD) without receiving the CDROM, on principal. But you are correct it isn't a great deal of money.
Mitsubishi have a subscription scheme online but I'm not sure how much information the subscription allows or wether it applies to Australian vehicles. Has anyone used the service and is it worth the effort ?
Thanks.
Yea, I saw that service too. I got the impression that it was one of those sites where you ask the question, and they give you the answer, but nothing more. It's intended for independant service shops that need to service Mitsu vehicles, and may not have the latest manuals on hand. Other OEMs also offer the service for their vehicles. It's a way to get service information to independant service shops. For the amount of times you'd use your subscription, it's probably not worth it. It would be cheaper to buy the manual. If your manual doesn't answer your question, ask it here, there are some knowledgable people here. If there is not a disclaimer ( for Canada and USA cars only for example) I would suspect it covers all countries, but I don't know that for sure.
I have a 2003 Eclipse and it's surprising how many times I check the manual. Not for repairs, the car's been perfect, but just for general interest, or information on how to add things, maintenace schedules, specs, etc. I don't buy anything, without the service manual, it's a condition of sale, for me. Everything you will ever need to know to repair your vehicle will be in the factory service manual. However, that said, there is still alot of information that only experieance (yours or someone elses) will be able to provide. While the subscription will give you the information needed to repair a problem, there may be a better/ cheaper way to do the repair than the factory authorized way. For example, replaceing the water pump, when doing the timing belt, will save you money down the road.
Buy the factory service manual.
Hi, Thanks for all the info. I will contact the dealer and find out about the service manual.
thanks, Dex
Hi, I contacted the dealer about the service manual and they replied that there is no service manual for the outlander.
