Rave CDs

But require a password and/or correct version of Acrobat to read...

You can always ask a seller a question... You are correct though that there are several different versions available on eBay and one does need to make sure.

Oh and don't expect to receive an "original" CD either. B-)

many of the pdf's on my website came from 2 cd's I bought from different folks on ebay.

I've been of the opinion that the RAVE (why RAVE, btw? anyone know?) CDs are all ripoffs. 's a pity they don't supply them officially, IMHO. You can, I assume, get the paper manuals, but they're very expensive. I have the "200" disco one here, 's a folder 2¼" thick, and at that it doesn't cover everything. From what I can tell, the RAVE stuff is the same material but in PDF format.

There again, I've not heard of anyone being "done" for supplying RAVE CDs, nor for receiving stolen goods, which I suppose is technically the offence that you (may) commit by buying 'em.

No, they don't provide them anymore (according to that guy I talked to). They only do electronic version (from the TD5 engine, inclusive (?), at least for the defender).

RAVE IRRC = Rover Aftersales Viewing Environment.

There are numerous threads on the forums at

I wouldn't bother with ebay... BTW.

What vehicle do you have?

My RAVE cd is an absolute godsend. Worth every penny of the £5 I gave for it. Fully searchable proper pdf. Owners manuals, Electrical troublshooting manual, overhaul, service manual etc etc.

I've been mildly slapped for selling Jeep and Honda cds on ebay, but never heard of any convictions for dealing in that sort of information.

Not got one to match that. Sorry.
