    Another L.Z Group purchase from BBS re SV & MSV Faultmates, Interested?

    Faultmate....Help!

    :hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi Sorry chap, no offence, but as i am specifically mentioned, it only seems fair for me to give my input in balance. Writing Software to properly access these older systems is one bloody tough job, requiring at least the setting up of a test vehicle to...

    SOLVED the diagnostic mystery

    Well done in respect of finally deducing the true source of your problem. I know it has been a bit of a long trial for you. In any BUS based communication system, Be it the Later 05 on CAN bussed based, earlier L322 DS2 BMW bus based, or even earlier ISO 9141 P38 based, it only takes one node...

    my new p38 HSE is sick already......!

    No diagnostic system, no matter how good, is ever going to be any substitute for human intelligence, logical thinking and traditional fault finding skills. It is however, as Irishrover states, so very often the most valuable tool and time saving aid you could ever wish to have in your...

    my new p38 HSE is sick already......!

    Thanks tommo138 ;) It sure has been a very long and hard struggle, i am far from wealthy by anyones standards, and some days i really do wonder if it has been worth it.

    p38's are officially rubbish....dont ever buy one

    If you want simple, fuss and trouble free day to day A to Z transport then why the hell buy a near 20 year old technology laiden vehicle like the P38. Leave them to the folk that and respect enjoy them and are willing to learn, live with and understand their aging shortcomings and foibles...

    is there a diagnostics for RR similar to VAGCOM?

    Interesting question, and one i feel, albeit at the risk of boring some, able to shed some light on for the benefit of anyone who may interested to learn. VAGCOM is really unique in the world of Diagnostic equipment. It's a freely, to very low cost, availiable bit of software that like many...
