I can see them all rushing down to Kent to diagnose your V8 for a cup of tea !!!!!

I was wondering what "a mean cup of tea" meant.

B-)

remember though, that proper tea is theft.

I don't even know what one is,

It's a diagnostic computer interface Larry, probably of most use to your SIII as a chock for when the handbrake buggers up! ;-) AFAIUI, the Disco 1 isn't complex enough to really need it anyway, at least I've never needed to use mine on anything other than DII and P38's. GrnOval, what is the problem/symptoms? Badger.

Whats up with it? Im in Maidstone and could do with plugging mine in to. Have you tried AHL at Ulcombe ?

I have one (located in west Kent) but as I inferred in my previous post a cup tea generally is not considered as currency.

I quite agree. The size of the investment in diagnostic scan tools means you need a decent return every time they are used.

That's a rather selfish attitude, and typically English. Fair enough if you are a garage, but if I owned Rovacom Lite personally then I'd be more than happy to help fellow LR owners in my area. I believe that's what the OP was asking for, not for a garage to offer their services for free.

EMB is not in the UK !!!

And he is a Garage as am I .

When it comes to the original post, chances are once plugged into the diagnostics they would be none the wiser from the results.

Sorry, typical of the English speaking world then!

My own garage is more than happy to plug my car in and tell me what is wrong as a free diagnostics check - though I wouldn't expect them to bring the equipment to my door! but the OP didn't expect that from a garage either.

Agreed! :)

Still doesn't stop me from wanting RoverCom Lite tho - at least I'll be able to reset the EAS myself then!

Matt.

When I had my own garage I didn't charge regular customers - but I made my money doing their repairs. However if a total sranger arrived at the door wanting fault codes read I'd charge them for the privilege if the repair wasn't being done in my workshop.

Yep, only about 12,000 miles away.

Or was anyway - I've sold the workshop and made the move to a cleaner, but more frustrating occupation, with occasional interludes running a garage in which I gave a silent shareholding.
