That looks interesting Doug if it really is the genuine Vx dealer service software as I was only looking at today in Caffyns which details every single part, bolt, screw, clip, etc, etc, with full assembly details :D ;).  

Bloody great if I could get hold of one!! :y :y

That'd be EPC (Electronic Parts Catalogue) generally available via a certain online auction site.  ;)  ;)

I toyed with the idea of getting it but did not bother in the end. But if you did get if for the £1.99 I would not expect a great deal or expect to complain if it was'nt upto much. I bought the V6 one with extras a few years back. nothing more than a few pages scanned from an old vauxhall chimps training guide. A few aquid down the pan but thats the trouble with fleabay, note his small print at the bottom.

That will be an illegal copy of EPC, and possibly TIS. Because it will be illegal copy, no discussions on acquiring or bypassing copy protection mechanisms.

Yep, these will either be pirate copies (made on a home CD writer and labelled with felt tip pen - I kidd you not), or official-looking CDs, But even if these are official CDs, their use is illegal as you are not buying the license which is sold seprataly by Vx. The 'official' CDs usually find their way from Vx dealerships to the general public via garage employees with sticky fingers.
