HI, we have recently purchased a Holden Frontera 2002 which has a 3.2 V6 Isuzu engine and are having problems trying to buy a manual for it. Haynes Australia say we need the Haynes No 41753 manual and another online forum tell us we need a differnt one.
Anyone been through this before?

in your gmail account there are 8 emails. Download the attachments and put in a folder. Go to this site and download a copy of 7zip
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html . Use 7zip to open the first attachment and it will unpack the lot into the factory manual.

Hey Thanks so much for that, talk about rapid response. Have a little problem though, Gary isnt all that computer literate and really needs a hard copy.

So I guess my original question remains,, which manual do I buy? The Haynes guys said the book for the rodeo and the other forum said it was the american model of the book which describes the car as an amigo, so I am still in the dark. Any ideas???

Do you have a friend that can run the programme above and print for you? Will be cheaper and being the factory book its got extra info as well.
If you realy want the Haynes manual it is this one but it does not cover the diesel engine

I have a separate manual in pdf form just for the engine. Add that to the haynes manual and there is very little not covered. The 2 main manual writers are Chilton and Haynes. Both these write for the American market where diesels are not common. There is also Gregories but I know little about them

Hi geeves
That first manual that you emailed mukaziwe is exactly what I have been looking for. Is there any chance that you still have it and can email it through to me? Or know of a link I can download it?
Much thanks
rich

Hi I have recently purchased a 1998 Isuzu opel Wizard. It's sort of like a ltd verson or a facelift moel

It is a 3l diesel. I am looking for the owners manual and service manual for it as it is a Jap import. Hopefully we will get a good run from it.
Thanks very much
