Believe me its worth its weight in gold and may have already answered how to get the plastic inlays out of my wheel arches. Did anyone ever find an English translation?

Install PDF Exchange Editor. The free version will do. (IMHO it's way better then Acrobat Reader anyway). https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product/pdf-xchange-editor On the 'Convert' tab, click 'OCR Page(s)'. Click 'Add/Update Languages...' Click 'Russian' then 'Install'. Make sure both 'English' and 'Russian' are selected. Select 'All' pages then 'OK' to process the whole document. Do something else for about an hour. After completion, click 'Save'. Now just select text in the PDF as you would normally and paste into Google Translate:

I also tried installing it under windows XP, that didn't work either. I have translated most of the disc but some reason the wiring diagram menu doesn't work due to a Javascript function that is missing, I think. "function FC(WO)" Can you search your disc to see if is present. Most of the .gif images in the description section have a .pdf version as well but I can't get this to load instead. Next is to find a program that will open, translate scanned .pdf files then save automatically!

I bought it via a Russian website from a guy that only took crypto as payment. That was a steep learning curve 🫣. The website is dead now. Anyhow, I'll fire up my laptop later and see if it has the file you are looking for.
Jeza Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Thanks, but I have adapted a script from another menu .html file and now the wiring menu works. Sounds a bit dodgy buying from a Russian in crypto 🤔
smurf Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Not as bad as it sounds. It looked like a Russian enthusiast run website that originally offered the manuals with payment via PayPal, and the Ukraine invasion stopped that method of payment. I took a punt for $40US and it worked out fine. The website has gone now, but this is it on the internet archive https://web.archive.org/web/20230326174700/http://en.estima.su/
