I use the Aston Martin Parts manual & diagrams at a www.astonmartintechinfo.com quite often. So if they follow through with their already late announcement (see below) it's likely they'll put everything behind their subscription based firewall. This would be disappointing since for years AM provided this information in the public domain without fee or restriction. Just in case they do - download a local copy.

Anyway, I figure they might do that so I used a tool to replicate the entire AMv8 parts manuals and diagrams on my local pc. Sorry I only did this for the Vantage V8 model but if it's still accessible do the same for DB7, Vanquish, DB9 and other models. (I used HTTracker)

If you want a local Windows PC parts manual that will load all the diagrams linked and parts breakdowns download the file linked below and follow the instructions further below. The download file is a 46MB zip file.

Download Aston Martin Vantage V8 Local PC parts Manual

Instructions to install:


Download the techinfo.zip file into a new folder on your local PC drive. I used c:/AM-new



Now extract the files using your zip extraction tool. The sub-directory and file structure will be recreated locally. Might take 20-30 mins as there are lots of files and linked images.


Now using file explorer navigate to the C:/am-new/techinfo/techinfo/AM3 directory (or whatever local folder name you used instead of AM-new) and look for the file index.html in the AM3 directory - this will be dragged to your desktop and is the launch icon.


Now when you click on the index.html icon on your desktop it will load the main screen for the Parts Manual and you will be able to navigate through the various categories as all files are local.



Customize the Parts Manual desktop icon.

Thanks. I bought a hardcopy version off Ebay, but cool to have one on the PC as well.

 

Thanks, this is great to have.
