Hi. Here are the links to 2 competitors selling what seems to be the same Volvo S70 DVD repair manual:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Volvo-Service-Repair-Manual-S70-1997-1998-1999-2000_W0QQitemZ320274022106QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item320274022106&_trksid=p3911.m14.l1318

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Volvo-V70-S90-S70-S60-1997-1998-Service-Repair-Manual_W0QQitemZ160260887364QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item160260887364&_trksid=p3911.m14.l1318

I am thinking of buying a copy for my 1998 S70 even if I already own the Haynes UK manual. Going over buyer's feedback, the great majority have posted + comments. One or two have mentioned that the DVD is a bootleg. Both sellers strive to place their product above other known repair manuals (Haynes, Mitchell, Bentley, etc.) Comments on this matter would be appreciated.

    The DVDs are pirated versions. ALL of them. But they are the way to go for computer based repair manuals. The original comes from the factory, so the Ebayer didn't lie about where he stole it from, he just left out the real creator :)

    When you install one of these, you will have to temporarily change the PCs date and change the date back afterwards. It contains all models, so select only what you need.

    At less than $25, not bad.
