I know there was something they called epc or partfinder or microcat which was windows 16 bit, then windows 32 bit then replaced by tis2000 and then turned in to tis2web (and was then opened to the public by subscription). The partfinder was locked to the dealer pc, and so was tis2000 by dongle but eventually tis2web was opened up for access by subscription.

This is just talking about the workshop manuals which were available for dealerships and workshops to buy from the start.

Hello Antus,

You are correct I have those as well. BUT the workshop manual that mine "image" runs is indeed locked to the system. Maybe there were two versions one for the dealer and one for the customer???

I think I have one of the VS workshop manuals on CD (which will only runs on windows XP I have also found). I believe it is just a burnt copy of the original & all seems to work ok on my old, very old, laptop with Win XP.

The Books and CD were alike, here's some photos of them.

Nice condition there The1... You only grabbed volume 1?

I would love to take a pic of my VB, VC and HQ original manuals I have but fear I will bore everyone. I love the original old manuals.

I'm still trying to get Service Manual Supplements:

M41074A - ISBN 0868361771 - Volume No.1 - General information

M41074G - ISBN 0868361836 - Volume No.7 - VS series II and 1996 1/2 update

If anyone has one or more of these they would be willing to part with at a reasonable price let me know

Just an update I now have the XP CD and the factory service supplements volumes 1, 2,3 and 4 now I just need the rarest, volume no.5. if anyone has one they'd be willing to part with please let me know.
