    Nobody wants to pay anything to have their car fixed
    Nobody understands that’s it is no longer a battery, switch, fuse if your lucky then lightbulb.

    Computer a talks to computer b, which talks to computer c
    Which works a mechanical solenoid, to raise the hid bulb up/down
    Which is nothing more than an arc lamp invented by the Victorians

    Over on DK Liteace cant get scope pattern for some junk, nobody has it.
    You need to reference it.

    Scope is great used before connect direct to battery crank, watch it dip to 8volt for split second and umpteen canbus codes afterwards

    Sorry, you said “retail” for a piece of garage Equipment,
    Thats like saying. “The local hospital has a new x-ray machine which
    They brought at full retail price”. Inc VAT or excluded VAT?

    As bad as Halfrauds – “trade only deal with trade card”
    “Retails at £xxxx trade card only £xxx”

    Like all diagnostics machines are they backwards compatible?

    You spend £3000+VAT on a new machine, nobody knows how to work it.
    If it does include a training course its the boss that goes on it, still has no idea how to work it, then tells you after you told customer go to dealer it DOES have that special function!

    The first job you get is a 1982 ford capri with a battery light on dim
    And no indicators but has hazards!

    Ok so those that follow ‘peterstopcrime’ on tw@tter will know he is on the ball.

    Going the other way, have seen this happen before where
    Mummy and daddy buy Tarquin a ‘run around’ spanking new
    Audi a5 for his 18th birthday.

    Naturally he’s doing donuts in Sainsburys carpark in the ice
    (Only toff’s go to Tesco) he is there for two hours, even on the redline in reverse, he drives off normal Sensible speed and whack he smacks
    The kerb on the way out, takes wishbone out and pops driveshaft out the gear box.

    He has had it 6 months so mummy and daddy decide the car is now too okd, so buy him another. Does that car required ‘write off status’?

    Err no, new wishbone refill gearbox safe as before!

    Great to hear 100 that’s going to be one tedious job for some team
    The first will take to days, once learned how to cut as many corners as possible
    Will be down five hours, then last ten will be down to two hours each.

    Then whoever has done them will be awake at night for weeks thinking if they
    Tighten all the wheel nuts up on the first ten.

    Do we know if these are electric vehicles or diesel?

    Great byproduct of hydrogen, so there going to sell their waste product to the unsepecting public, does that mean you need a waste carrier license when you fill your car.

    That plastic looking lump underneath, when car is 7 years old
    Does it go as brittle as a vauxhall vectra thermostatic housing.

    Be interesting when the macd car park crew turn up and get a pop corn remap!

    Sorry, so you pay for electricity for your car, then give it back
    At peak times.

    So for £120 per year and the inconvenience of having less service life on your car and less rang/no use at peak times, why would you ?

    Most odd. You only just to have a look around the internet
    To find lots and lots of cars have incorrect mileage.

    Quite often cars less than a year old. My advice would be to
    Back up the milage of your car often, then if you find it incorrect
    And the milage has jumped higher than it should at least you have a backup

    That way saves manually editing 16 locations in and eeprom and having issues with the check sum. If you ever find your self stuck with check sum try 00 00.

    For those car ‘designers’ eg BMW you could at least just put a 93C06
    EEPROM in DIL socket holder on back of clocks, then have a second back up eeprom
    On a circuit that is isolated until after 30 seconds of engine running.

    That way if the milage does become in correct you can get it very close to the correct milage.

    Even your volvo with milage in doors & merc with milage in sests and battery terminals get incorrect.

    To reset milage in battery terminal on merc, disconnect with engine running.

    Another dumb idea, stop start battery three times the price, then
    Often find they are 3 hernias in weight compared to standard 1 hernia in weight.

    Then your double solenoid starter, just to save half a second cranking time.
    To add to confusion on push button non start job

    Bad idea, whoever designed the technology- go clean 300 toilets.
