Hey Guys,

I've scoured the searches and the Googles for a bit, but can't seem to get a clear answer and I'm hoping some more seasoned ET2 owners can chime in. I'm interested in getting a service manual for my 2004 ET2, either from factory or Haynes etc, I'm just wondering if all of these files are the same thing or are actually different?

Referencing this old thread from 2012 - https://modernvespa.com/forum/topic100889 I just want to figure out if these these three things are actually all different, or are all talking about the exact same document:

1. FREE - A link to something that definitely looks like a more advanced ET2 service manual from Vespa, but there is no cover page so I don't know "exactly" what this document is lol: https://manuals.wotmeworry.org.uk/Vespa/ET2/Vespa%20Service%20Manual%20ET2%2050cc.pdf

2. $40 Scooter West Service Manual - This is very clear to me what it is, and seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, albeit a physical copy. https://www.scooterwest.com/et2-workshop-service-manual-piaggio-sm23.html?srsltid=AfmBOorRUGacHXOIAqBHabWUcjcGicLiuptsMjOE0XtbKno2ckpJNb_f

3. $18 Vespa ET2 Digital Workshop Manual - I think this is just a digitzied version of option 2? https://www.af1racing.com/DL-ET2-50-OEM-Vespa-Workshop-Manual---ET2-50

I've no problem spending money for a quality document, but I figure I should ask, before I spend anything, are all three of these actually the same thing? I mean option 1 is already online and free to the world

I'm by no mechanically inclined, but would like to start doing simpler things to the ET2 like maybe changing lights, oil, etc, so whatever would be more geared this type of level would be much appreciated.

I know Option 1 and 2 are different. Option 2 having a little extra content for American models, and the book written in 3 languages (Eng/Ital/Span). No idea about option 3.

You'll probably be fine with the free download seeing as you're based in Germany.
