Default Rave Cd

Ok folks - I have here a genuine original copy of the RAVE cd for Range Rover, Disco II, Defender and Gaylander.

I would love to make it available for download, but I have to pay for my bandwidth and it's half a gig in size. So what i am proposing is to make a small charge for the download, just to cover bandwidth costs. I will also make it available on CD for a small charge, again just to cover my costs.

I also have the 300TDi Engine Overhaul Manual, and Sfat Parts Finder, which are small enough to not worry about bandwidth so they will be free downloads.

Would love your opinions on this proposal

Cant you zip the file and compress it, then use an upload mail site, such as www.yousendit.com or similar?

infact i would go as far as some members will even travel out of their way to meet you to give you landrover parts that are no use to them and not even charge you for the parts, let alone the delivery.

alright len

Not trying to make a profit here yella - just to cover my costs as it is 568MB in size and I get charged for bandwidth. If I wanted to try and make money out of it I'd stick it on eBay - but I shall use Lenny's method - no costs that way.

Yes Lenny, and I'll be more than happy to reciprocate. It was very much appreciated.

The 1.50 was gonna be for a cd copy sent recorded. Allowing a download of 568MB would cost me 50p, which is what I was gonna ask for to cover dl costs. As I said in my original post, the Overhaul Manual and Fast Parts Finder would be completely free to dl as they are about 1MB each.


Bottom line is - RAVE CD is available for download f.o.c., all thanks to Lenny. Also 300TDi Engine Overhaul Manual and Fast Parts Finder.

PM me for a copy of any or all of the above.
