YSK:
Our trusted friends have launched a new website named LEMON, which has newer manuals. It also contains all the CHARM manuals.
LEMON is the spiritual successor to CHARM, I recommend you try it!
Link: lemon-manuals.la or lemon-manuals.org.ua
(Some people have issue connecting. LEMON is investigating. For now, use Firefox or change your DNS server)
The Lemon about page is rad as hell.
Hell yeah! Let's all join the LEMON party!
It looks like they’re no longer updating it and directing people to Lemon now over at Link: lemon-manuals.la or lemon-manuals.org.ua
Unfortunately links be broken.
They mention these may not work and a solution

I'm on Firefox and it still don't work.
https://lemon-manuals.la/worked for me just now.
Strange, that link works, but none of the other ones.
Works here, thanks!
Stops at 2013 😢
There's a link in there to its spiritual successor which has newer stuff. I just found the one I needed from 2019.
It's at the top of the page in a highlit box.
Man, sometimes I'm blind. Thanks.
No, our eyes have just been trained to ignore things like that since it looks like an ad placement upon first glance.
Check lemon
Thank you. If you have contact with author/maintainer suggest a donate button. I am starting a business and need access to electric schematics and would love to contribute to access this data.
I tried to find a donate button but did not see
Awesome find! Thanks for sharing! This is going to save me so much time
No prob! This is why i ADORE kagi. I find amazing shit like when the internet used to be great around its peak (05-2012 ish) and then I keep all of it.
The internet is trash now so mostly I keep my own documentation of everything in notes I keep backed up. The average clueless Googler is really a sad common thing now.
If u have a cb900f- nice ride man!
919 BROS 🤙
Only goes back to 1982, at least for Ford. Shame my car's manual isn't in there because of it.
EDIT: Lemon goes back far enough, but it appears these are text only, without pictures or diagrams? Why wouldn't they just have scans of the actual manuals?
700 gb sounds like alot all text of Wikipedia is like 170 gb and I think that's uncompressed. Im assuming most of the manuals are stored as pdfs instead of text with pictures so it takes up more space.
Wiring diagrams aren't text, so there are probably images throughout.
The images included are the same provided in my paper factory manuals
No Holden 😞
Try the gm section ?
No Mondeo
Isn’t that called a Focus in most of the world?
Mondeo is larger than the Focus. Apparently the 4th gen Mondeo was sold as the Fusion in North America.
any wizards out there wanna zim this for kiwix?
Is there an equivalent of this for motorcycles?
This would have been great for my 1976 old mobile omega that I had... 22 years ago
They only go back to the 80s. My 76 rolla and 56 Buick are not in the list.
You need to go to the link at the top that takes you to the updated collection
Cool but the 56 Buick is missing still, goes to 1960 this time.
This is cool and I'm not downplaying it at all just being silly. I don't expect to find a service manual for something so old anyways. Plus the thing has like 4 moving parts and no electronics basically lol
Unfortunately seems to be very US-centric. Citroen is completely missing and Opel only goes up to 1979.
And for brands that have a US presence, very common European models are missing (Ford Fiesta, Toyota Avensis)
man, they stopped 1 year before my car
Look at lemon
yup, there we are!!!!! thanks!
Lol I was excited for this and then clicked the page only to see the links for my vehicles were purple already but with no recollection of visiting this site before.
As a paper manual kind of guy, what do you guys do to better incorporate these digital manuals into your work? I try to avoid touching my phone with dirty or greasy hands/gloves. Maybe I need to setup a garage laptop...
Garage puter or print em!
