This is a good find Lee!
To everyone else: It covers both D8's & D9's and also has info on the Tubby and V6 engines.

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
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

). 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)

I've had a copy for years and found it about as useful as a spoiler on a SMART car
