You could borrow a physical copy from the local library, which often had a huge number of them.

There might still be automotive service manual torrents floating around with content which was partially a result of my efforts when I was in the "bookz scene" over 2 decades ago.




One of the bummers of the decline of automotive forums is the reduction in availability of the bootleg copies. So many are wastelands of broken links these days.


Do you really think automotive forums are in decline?


I can only speak for the ones I visit, which are primarily for Japanese vehicles: there's been a noticeable decline in post frequency and the info that is there has gone stale/is full of broken pic references/links.

On one of them, it's gotten comically bad, where easily >90% of new posts are from spambots, and it takes days for them to be removed after I report them.

Subreddits and Facebook are much more active comparatively, and that's a bummer in my opinion.
