Are they really that rare?
I have been searching for a copy of the fairway driver workshop manual.
Does anyone have an electronic copy that could be sent via email?

Thanks in advance for any reply

Thanks for the "heads up", had the same bit of advice a little while ago and have been keeping an eye on ebay, but no luck so far.
If there are any sellers out there I would be willing to pay for a copy.

I do believe if you go to the LTI website all out of date literature is listed for you to retrieve

You can buy a pair of cuff links or a teddy bear from the LTI website (both of which are massively overpriced) but manuals?.Not that I can see,they've about as much interest in the continued use of their previous models as Ken Livingstone.

I went as far as to contact LTI directly.
They do not keep workshop manuals for out of production models, was the answer I got. I couldn't believe it. They must have one lying about somewhere surely.

Maybe you are right, no interest what so ever when talking about the fairway, shame really.

thanx for the effort wannabeeahack, but....

Link 1: Is for the TX model (I'm after the Fairway model.

Link 2: Again for the TX model

Link 3: seen this one before, £20 would be very acceptable and I have contacted them for a copy, but this offer is only open to "members", and this membership costs another £27, plus a £5 joing fee, not to metion all the forms to fill in.... £52 plus p&p kinda seems a bit over the odds. But could be good for a last resort.....

Link 4: Again for the TX model :sad:

Link 5: and again for the TX model.... :roll:

No, really thanks for the help, maybe the LVTA option is my only one, its just the membership fee that [edited by admin] me off.....

The manuals for the LT1 cover the engine and most of the running gear of the fairway.Well worth getting.
£52 for a CD is a rip off.
