I downloaded this a couple of years back (it wasn't free then), I didn't think much of it because everything I wanted to look at ended in a blank page. Maybe I'm doing something wrong so could you try this for me: (root)\Service Manual 406\406d8\info\gb\d8157.htm?

Same as you; just a title of "Rear Hub" and nothing else, in every language directory :frown:
I've got a version of this on DVD from fleabay; I'll see if it exists on there.

It's there for the 206 (well, it was free :cheesy: ). Maybe I'm expecting too much, will be interesting to see what mjb makes of the V6.

It's a small collection of the stuff you can get in the paid-for section of servicebox, except with that hideous blue interface, 80% missing pages, and low resolution badly converted gif images instead of the CGM vector art on servicebox (which I'm still trying to figure out how to reliably convert to TIF)
