Yeah thats exactly what it is but probably had the "key" modified so as not to need the computers clock to need to be wound back to 2003. I have a feeling mine is pre Mk2 but to be honest there is so little difference for most things it isnt worth worrying about. Will see if i can get hold of the patch for the "key" and then will suggest to sammy we upload it somewhere.

My guess is that it is another illegal copy of the Rave CD.

It must be okay if it being offered for sale by Moto-Build, otherwise they will be in trouble!

I have a copy of the Rave cd myself.

Am sure most of RAVE was available on another forum at one time as PDFs, but that forum seems to have ceased to exist.

I have some of it but now wish I had it all. Got the CD but sometimes resetting the clock really upsets my computer.
Luckily have printed a lot of it out over time anyway.

Came across a company selling manuals on CD (almost all makes), enquired about whether you had to change date and they said yes - seemed a dodgy thing for a company to do. (Not MotoBuild, BTW)

There is nothing ILLEGAL about copies of rave. The copyright is now unregistered on the copyright database as was still under ownership of MG-rover and a copyright cannot be registered by a bankrupted company.

Legal copies of the Rave CDs are distributed by XPart to the AutoService Centres. I guess that XPart are the copyright holders.
