I did see the PDFs on our site 😀

Post by: dakazman on Friday,October 13, 2017, 03:28:47 PM: That’s all I wanted to get out there . I have a Lotus manual and at times I feel like I need an interpreter. . Sometimes the pdf does not print out correctly.

Here is the Renault fuego r18 manual link

It has some general service tips also.

However the proper manual must always be viewed.
