@Wiltshire Chris perhaps that could be useful and easier to process as source data?

I agree, give that man a job. He can do it. No not bob the builder. I think a few of us have odds and sods and are prepared to review and add if appropriate, but I certainly have not got the skills required.

Out of interest @VanDerErrol how much space does your mirror copy take up? If it's of a size that can be uploaded somewhere then I could take a look at whether I can create a version that @ben could host.

@Wiltshire Chris , I'm double checking I've got everything right now. HTTrack is reporting some errors, but I'm doing site updates that'll take some days. But less than 1Gb at the moment. I'm happy to put on GDrive / DropBox.

Good job, I started a httrack job going but cancelled it. Only needs one of us to do it so thank you for persevering. I've got plenty of online storage options we can use to exchange it
OK, I will share two batch scripts that will do some of the job for us.
They work on Windows (tested on 64bit version of Windows 10).
Have to be downloaded, saved in a folder as .bat files.
And then executed.
The first (rename) script will check in the active user downloads folder for files that look like files downloaded from the eLearn website graphic files (like those ones):
They have to match the pattern (9 digits + image extension). To avoid accidental renaming of other files, it will ask to confirm the 3 digit codename model (in this case the 250) and will rename the found files to .svg. This codename can be seen on the 1st page of the PDF file (188 in this case) :
Those .svg files can be opened in InkScape. It's a vector graphic tool.
The second (conversion) script opens those files in InkScape and converts them to .emf files, so they can be put in the pdf file for example in the PDF-XChange Editor. After the conversion, the script will delete the .svg files.
You're then left only with the .emf files.
Both svg and emf files are vector graphics, so they can be zoomed without quality loss (I can zoom them up to 6400%).
Both scripts list the files to be renamed / converted and ask for a confirmation, so we can check it we're not doing any harm
Inkscape must be installed in the default folder (C:\Program Files).
The browser you're using to download the files must be set up to download them to the default Downloads folder.
If it's not the case, those script will not work unless modified.
Use at your own risk.
However there in nothing strange / bad / malicious in the scripts. The actions are preceeded by description. The scripts can be checked for example in ChatGPT, it will explain what is being done at which stage

Sorry for the delay with this.
I think I have all the files now through HTTrack.
There'll be a few missing, but I don't think I can get any more right now.
Where shall I put them for people to access? I can share through OneDrive, Google Drive or DropBox.

Either of the first two would work for me. I'll download it and see if I can make something hostable here when I get a chance

I'll DM you the details. I'd rather not expose this to world plus dog at this point.

The 4cardata is limited to a couple of models only.
Why use the wayback machine, the site is still online
Then, it has archived only the main websites per language / model I think: Showing 1,551 to 1,571 of 1,571 entries.ZaphodB

The cardata link I left had the 500/abarth torque data and some other procedure stuff, and that's enough for me
I just wanted that sort of stuff to be honest, maybe I'm missing something but the links earler in this thread just come up HTTP503 error, so I'm not sure why you say it's still online?
Since this thread has been published, the site (being definitely a non-official FIAT eLearn site) encountered multiple accessibility issues.

). Everything is described earlier in this thread.
When I've checked it earlier, it was available.
And it is now:
Of course we can't guarantee it will be forever. But luckily thanks to @VanDerErrol 'we' have the copy of the contents
I hope it will be one day available forever on the forum.

Strange - I'll keep checking
I'm afraid we lost it
I haven't seen it online since like 10 days, checking at different times at day and night ;(

such is life.
I admit to be one of the early access abusers. i will look at what data ive got that needs to be published sooner rather than later
