i have them : rev, fuzzi . the connection with the car is okay. but reading of the fault codes is not accurate (never had a fault code, everything was ok despite 3 orange lights on the dash). there is no reading of temp, rpm, throttle position etc.....

I have this for 2 years now in my Windows mobile...

Apple is catching up I see

It's good stuff by the way to have this gadget.

~These generic fault code readers are not very accurate.

We use a few different computers at my gaffe, sometimes the codes read differ greatly on the generic ones compared to the genuine merc star machine we have.

Great for you armchair mechanics mind,

Great for erasing trouble codes though, it may not have told you exactly the correct info. But handy if you run race cats on shit fuel, get rid of that pain in the arse engine light.

Day at Simpsons showed that my 3 faults were all there was, two are emissions as thought due to cast and exhaust, and other was a pre cat Lambda sensor, replaced and all ok.

Also did a spanner check, a bit of front damper servicing, full geo and loads of chat, lunch, coffee, and free wifi.

Had a look around their new facility and a tour of the nearby warehouses

Their new facilities are pretty impressive and add a real bredth to what they can offer now in addition to their existing workshops and race services.

I am very happy with the quality of their work in tidying up my 'front end'

Ah.........no, free wifi. That makes more sense.
