Has anyone out there seen or heard of an English version of the Toyota repair manual for the 1HD-FT engine? I have spoken to dealers both here in NZ as well as over in OZ, and both say the manual is not available. They would not tell me whether or not they were ever available.
I have been keeping an eye out on the usual auction sites for quite sometime - but have had no luck. I would even settle for a scanned copy.
Google brings up a French version in PDF in the link below.

It seems strange that the English manual covering the 1PZ, 1HZ and 1HD-T is readily available secondhand, but that for the 1HD-FT doesnt seem to exist. Especially considering there where FT powered HDJ80's sold in NZ, OZ and the UK.
Or does everyone else have one but me....
Seriously though, if someone can confirm that there was indeed an English version printed i will continue searching, otherwise i will settle for the free French copy and translate as need be.
