Hi,
New to this forum. Have had a ts/tr magna then a tf magna now proud owner of 2007 es 380. Purchased with 89000 k. Am very happy with the performance and fit out.
As I would like to do most services myself I was wondering if there is a service manual available for this makel?
Have downloaded the American Gallant pdf from a link on this site. The picture does not match the Aussie model????
Great forum I have read many of the threads and have learnt quite a bit already, keep up the great work.

Pretty sure that manual is available free online with a bit of searching.
Did you have a look at the one mentioned in post #1 of http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71272 ?

Thank you all for the replies. I managed to download the manual on the link you supplied Minotaur, I am a tad worried that the photograph on it looks more like a 2005 Magna not a 380 so am not sure how relevant it is.
It is an excellent manual so I hope I can use it, and if anyone can tell me how to I will post it for download 235 meg pdf file.
Will have to learn how to place a photo of my car on this page.

My first bit of bad luck. The right hand side rear window just died. Went to wind it up, heard a couple of cluncks and window dropped. Had to jam it in up position as it is raining here.
Will have to wait for the sun to pull door apart.
Apart from that best car I have ever owned.

If you're out of warranty, it will be considerably cheaper at an autoelect.

Auto Elec to replace a window reg, really?????
Regs are a 20 minute job to replace, rears are very easy. Trim off, couple of nuts and bolts, unplug and remove. I have regs listed both new and used ones in my store or you can go to your local dealer and get the reg and fit yourself, will need a phillips head screwdriver, 10mm socket and ratchet, that is about it

Good to know MM.
mine was done under warranty so was not sure. I suppose you just have to make sure you secure the glass if DIY??
