Scanner

Has anyone bought a diagnostic scanner for the X-Type? I bought one for £40 having been assured it would work, it didn't. There must be something out there suitable.

Hi Jim,

 

I  bought one for my S Type ---  a universal scanner  --  and it stopped working.  So I bought another, for £20 which works.  Curiously when I first used it, the other one started working too!

 

Peter.

You are welcome to pop over to Shropshire and plug my iCarsoft scanner in for no charge

Thanks, Peter,and thanks for the offer Andy, but I would like to have my own in my tool box. Can you remember where you bought your scanners? Jim.

I bought mine off a seller with a good reputation on eBay - can't remember who though - I debated getting a cheaper system but as the car is a keeper thought the iCarsoft was worth investing in  about £90 if I remember

 

Certainly made easy work of identifying the misfire I had and that alone probably paid for itself
