Default Workshop Manual that opens on a Mac

Hi Guys,

At the risk of being shot down, can anyone please advise me where to get a workshop manual for a 2008 or 2009 S2000 that will open and read on a Mac? I am aware of RichMC's thread and his generous production of an earlier manual, but he is careful to point out it won't work on a Mac and requires a PC with IE.

Any heads up on a Mac'able workshop manual and/or a pdf version relevant for a late model car (ie Facelift) would be appreciated.

Thanks

Below is a link to the workshop manual I think you're referring to:

http://www.wedophones.com/Manuals/Honda/Honda%20S2000%20(2000-2003)%20Service%20Manual.pdf

Should be able to download and print this one on a mac. Ignore the first page... Not sure what's going on with that haha

Thanks for the replies.

Would be nice to find a manual for facelift cars (and one that covers UK version, rather than US).

So I have downloaded that as a starter, but still looking...

In the spirit of the usual response from Mac owners when someone has a problem with a PC, "get a PC" would probably be the simplest answer.

An old refurbished laptop from Ebay is probably your best bet. Having said that, there isn't a huge amount that's different.

haha that's terrible advice. He should wait until he's about to buy a new Mac, then go find a PC for the same price that will have about 3x the power/storage/screen etc. and it will blow his freaking mind!

As a long time Mac fan boy who recently installed Sierra, I agree. Buy a PC.

Not sure what the "it won't open on a Mac" bit is about though? Is it not a PDF?

Dual boot with windows or run a virtual machine for when you want to run windows specific programs. Best of both worlds!
