Elise Service Manual for $25 from LCU.

[sandsmuseum]

The Service Manual for the Federal Elise is available on the Lotus Cars USA website. You must pay a membership fee of $25 for one day, $300 for a month, or a huge amount for a year to gain access to the site. Once on the site you can download individual chapters from the Service Manual.

I purchased a one day access for $25 and proceeded to download all the sections that were available. I have not checked to see if they are as complete or are the same as the paper manual I purchased several months ago. First glance suggests all the chapters are there.

The Toyota manuals are separate and can be purchased at your local Lotus dealership. The site does include a listing of what these manuals include and the price.

Terms of Agreement prevent the uploading of the material and only license you to have one copy. Please do not ask me for a copy of my material. $25 is inexpensive.

Sorry if this is a repeat...

I found the RM733E & the RM929E part numbers in the european site:

http://techdoc.toyota-europe.com/fin...p?&d=1&lang=En

one day access seems to be 10 euros for Toyota, 8 euros for Lexus, 16 for both.

RM733E is under the Celica documents in english
RM929E is under the Corolla engine documents in english, anyone care to explain this???

Couldn't find the transmission one and the supplement might not be the right publication.

I'm going to snoop around more before subscribing to get all my ducks in a row.

Seems like the right ones, I'm posting html files of the indices so you can take a peak.

I modified the Lotus html to link to these for the engine, supplement and transmission.

I have each of these files and image support folder on their own folder, i.e.
Toyota

RM733E
RM929E
RM930E

I also got several service and miscelaneous ones for the Celica and Corolla, didn't dowload the whole thing but anything related to the engine, transmission, intake, exhaust, ecu (even if it's different), electrical wiring, engine mount stuff, but got tired after a while because it was too much work.

I have them located under a toyota folder under the lotus service manual folder.

Toyota

SDSCelica

SDS418E
SDS438E
SDS457E
SDS466E
SDS477E

SDSCorolla

EWD480E
EWD485E
RM925E
SDS453E
SDS455E
SDS457E
SDS466E
SDS477E

I didn't dowload these last ones fully other than the SDS's, I tried to get as much as RM925E as I could.

Like I said before, it's a lot of work (time consuming) so better do it on a weekend or something like that, if you are just after the 3 manuals I'll say one hour will do. But if you are like me, you'll want more and more

good news is that if you forget to download the indices for those three manuals you'll have them from my zip file

Two quick notes Tim,

once you open the view document, you'll have to open each branch of the navigation tree on the left, right click and save as, some of them you actually have to press them and use the acrobat save icon. (electrical I believe) there is another thread where I posted what I did.

I wont be on my computer during the weekend so I hope you have good luck with the download, pm me if you want my cell # in case you get stuck.

Edit: oops I forgot the 2nd note, your login times out, you probably have to re-login for other documents, I had to do that several times.
