Buy the e-book

You can now purchase a copy of all the Car Maintenance Bibles formatted as an e-Book, delivered as Adobe PDF Files for US$5.99. Do with them what you wish, within limits. Print them out at home to read at your leisure. Take them to work and discuss them with colleagues. Print them out and use them as expensive toilet paper. It's up to you.

What do I get?

You get a zip file containing the PDF documents (formatted to US Letter sized paper) and animation files. You also get all the javascripts for the various tyre size calculators (all referenced from a handy single HTML file).

Is there automated document delivery?

Yes. GetDPD is my shopping cart provider and once you have paid with Paypal, you will receive a download link in your email. Please ensure you use a valid email address or I have no way to deliver the content to you.

I don't have a PayPal account and I don't want to create one.

No problem. At checkout you can choose Don't Have A PayPal Account and pay without creating an account. All you need is a valid credit card.

Why should I pay? You've put the Bibles online for free!

Converting these pages to working PDF files took time and effort. Everything else on the site is free. If you want to download the pages and reformat them yourself, then convert them into PDF files, go right ahead. The download cost is a nominal fee to help cover the cost of the time it took for me to do this for you, and to help cover the cost of running the site.

What rights do I have to re-use the PDF documents?

You can use the PDF documents for your own reference, but may not sell them on nor make copies for further distribution without express written permission. You may not use them for commercial gain.

Any disclaimers?

Yes. The information in the Car Maintenance Bibles is the result of many years of information-gathering and personal experience. I'm not sponsored by any corporations or companies, nor do I claim to represent their views. I'm not a trained mechanic, I'm simply a home mechanic with an interest in cars and motorbikes, who originally was looking for a single repository of useful information. I decided to write that information after I couldn't find it. If you choose to take my advice or act on information contained in the Car Maintenance Bibles, you do so at your own risk. The sale of the PDF documents will be considered as the contract whereby you agree to hold harmless Christopher J Longhurst (me) against any and all claims, damages, costs or other expenses that arise directly or indirectly out of or from your activities in connection with the content of the PDF documents.

Important note: for the moment, the Bike suspension bible and Steering Bible are "in build" so they are not included in the PDF documents. Once the pages are finished and in regular circulation, I'll PDF-ise them and include them and this note will go away.
