Thanks to Charles Weaver for loaning the 1992 Thatcham Methods Manual for the Mk2. This is the book used by insurance assessors that gives standard methods and times for all body repairs. Not hugely relevant to the average rust repairs we are involved with, but a fascinating and detailed description of how the things are put together. Now uploaded to the Manuals section so thanks again to Charles.

I have a photocopy of the PG1 & PG2 overhaul manual and the dedicated T-Series overhaul manual if you're interested in adding it to the directory, just pm me an email address and I will forward it on.

Jim kindly sent me the two manuals. The gearbox overhaul was a direct copy of the relevant chapter of the workshop manual already on the site, so I have not uploaded that.
The T-series manual was a new variation though, so that has one been included. Thanks Jim.

Oops, I didn't realise, it was just the chapter out of the main manual.

I am currently working on cleaning up the PDF files to make them a easier to read as I am slowley printing them bit by bit and binding them into folders as I despite being a computer nut I prefer my manuals in paper (I know I can buy them online, I'm just stubborn). Once they are done I can forward them on too if you like.

Edit: I also have the Haynes 820 workshop manual which is a little different to the service manual (it only covers the 2.0 T-series) which I may be able to scan at some point.

Conversely, my 820 Haynes covers the M and T in detail but the bodywork seems to be Mk1 oriented.

Oops, I missed that bit out, it does also cover the M-Series, although it doesnt cover the T-Series coil packs, only the distributor.

Not a problem at all, hopefully some of the manuals will come in handy to others on here.

If it's down I'm pretty sure I have a copy of all the MKII manuals on my computer if that's any help? Unfortunately I don't have a copy off the MKI manuals, but I do have a PDF of the haynes manual and a paper copy of the official MKI Rover manual that I could photocopy a few pages of.
