RG Colorado Workshop Manual now available

[Colly18]

Colorado RG owners will know we haven't been able to purchase a traditional (Haynes) workshop manual for a RG Colorado, so generally DIY's have had to make do with wading through the internet when looking for info on how to tackle repairs and maintenance. Or do what I often do - fly by the seat of your pants!
Well, by chance today, I stumbled across a Haynes Workshop Manual for a RG Colorado/Isuzu D-Max (at last! At last! At last!). I've found these useful with various vehicles over the years, so I purchased one online today.

Even though a digital copy has been online for a few years i find the paper version useful in the shed so i might have to order one too.

Do you have the digital one? If so how do you find the quality of it? My understanding was it was a bit of a hotchpotch of information gathered from various sources then sold online(?). I had some concerns about copyright and whether my vehicle was covered. From memory it promoted Chevrolet Canyon models(?) I never did get satisfactory answers back from the seller. Anyway, good news is Haynes have come to the party, so now we have a reputable publisher, experienced in the field, delivering a manual covering the Australian Holden Colorado

Yes i have it and is basically a dump of gm's service manual for dealers to pdf files.
It covers the chevrolet colorado 2013 lhd model with the 2.8l lwh engine.
The quality is average and it is spread across 69 pdf files but it does have alot of the gm part numbers for things and it has all the torque values so it is usable

We dont really have an "australian" model it is just the 2.8l rhd model built the same for all of the rhd markets just with a holden badge but the haynes manual will be worth getting as it is a pain to have to print pages or lug the laptop around the shed.

Thanks. Yep, I get that it's a world car. Yes, to be honest a book is still a hard thing to beat!
