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.

yeah thats right, nothing illegal about copying rave. X parts EPC is a different matter i think.

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

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)
