Waheyyy

I'm now the owner of an automotive fault reader and de-coder, Argos stocks them at £130, not bad when you consider it costs £100 for a garage to tell you what's wrong with your car if it's running poorly.

I only need to use it once and it's paid for itself, . . so goodbye Evans Halshaw I won't be back (this is after I get the car back coz they aint got the part in yet) . . watch this space coz I might have to take em to court.

PS: I should've told youse I'm printing off the manual as I type, It's over 100 pages, what's the bet I run outta ink.

Sod it, . . I've got a paper jam, a word to the wise, . . never pull out paper from a printer you'll ruin the feed rollers, on most of them there's a panel at the back, if you remove it it enables you to get the paper out.

Re: Waheyyy

Connected it to the car today and it interrogated the ECU, no errors were found coz after the car's been parked up the fuel pressure stabilises.

It's a good bit of kit, it displays your cars' VIN number and other info like oxygen sensors etc, I'm still waiting on that garage to phone me when the part arrives though, they said it could take 3 weeks.
