Am i right in thinking there are free versions for older vehicles? I've done it before but don't recall how to access foglight bulbs on an E71. YouTube has some tutorials, but they don't work on my car.

Thanks. This is where my scant tech knowledge trips me up.

Thix looks to be what I'd like. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116066021523 ... media=COPY

When asked if it will run on an Android tablet, i got this reply, which doesnt help me. Anyone with greater IT knowledge care to advise me?

[i][u]Hey,
I have created this manuals when I had Galaxy S9+ and it worked ok, so it will work on tablet too.
Only potential problem, I would imagine, could happen during downloading since Androids sometimes mess with downloading big files ( ie. 250MB ).
Other than that I believe that it will work flawlessly. My suggestion is that you should get Moon Reader or Acrobat Reader on Play Store. In my experience these apps work very good with bigger PDF's.

Take a look at screenshot and you will se demonstration on oil change procedure.

Acrobat Reader (AR) is a software tool/app made by Adobe to read Portable Document Format (pdf) files. Adobe created the pdf standard a couple of decades ago. I use it on iOS and there will be an Android version as well. It should be free. There are free PC and Mac versions too.

If the files are in PDF format then AR is the best utility.
