Default Re: Unfair use of service manuals

Me? Gullible?
Well yes!
I'd already got a free download of the user manual for the item in question. So when I saw an advert for what was described as the most comprehensive user service manual available (sounds like Haynes's terminology) I made the wrong assumption that I'd be getting more than I already had. I paid 14 quid or thereabouts and did the download.
When I opened it I could see it was identical to the one I had.
As I'd bought it using PayPal I thought I could get a refund. Wrong! - their case worker decided in favour of the vendor. Not too surprising - they'll get far more dosh from the vendor than from me.
If I'm ever in this situation again I shall ask for a thumbnail of the item - just enough to check it's an improvement on my own data library. Today's top tip?!?
Hope this helps someone.
Graham
