Ahh, what kind of manual?  User Handbook (UHB), Parts book (Repair Parts Schedule (RPS) ), Workshop manual and modicications (EMEI's) ??  Most are on the website.  However the workshop manual is the same as the civilian one.

Ok. Thanks for the info. Didn't know they were on the site. If the workshop man is the same as civilian one I'll leave that one. A user handbook would be good in the flesh. And a parts book would be welcome too.

Parts books for the most part, are available on the RPS page of the REMLR website, user handbooks i've only seen for the 110 range of vehicles, not the series 2 or 3.  The only exception that I have seen to date is for the Wrecker variant of the series 2 and 2a which mostly details the use of that specific equipment.

I do have a copy of what is in essence a drivers handbook issued to soldiers on their drivers course detailing a range of information, but i've not worked out a good way to digitise that as yet, and it does not relate to a specific vehicle, but more in general.

Is the driver's handbook the one from the 1960's that says (from memory) "... the flash and dangerous practice" of double declutching was not to be employed? It was such a comical turn of phrase that I have never forgotten it.
