V70 Service manual availability V70-XC70

I don't know about other people's experience with Alldata, but here is mine:

I bought a DIY manual on CD from them for my 850 (1995) for $40 or so. The information contained in it is VERY sketchy and mostly generic. The few illustrations are drawings which come up as *.GIF files which print with very poor resolution. They are just line drawings, not even in greyscale. I bought this a few years ago and the PC I was using then ran Windows 98. The manual is now completely useless as it will not load or execute under Windows XP (though that is presumably fixed in new releases).

A pro mechanic friend recently downloaded some sheets from the Alldata pro subscription site and printed them for me. They are just as bad.

In fairness to Alldata, the current online subscription demo for owners looks more comprehensive than what I've seen before.

I'd be interested to hear your opinions.

thanks to all...
