Who has diagnostics kit available and where are you?

[RobbieH]

I noted that a thread was started with a member location map. I 've added to it and included text to say I have a VCT/Vida combo available for code reading and re-setting. I've also seen that Mike (outnumbered) has done the same. The problem is, there is no way of highlighting this so it's obvious to someone looking for local diagnostics.

I've asked a mod if the thread can be made a sticky and even if the forum can have something like as a permanent (and relatively prominent) fixture.

In the meantime, to help members in trouble maybe we could start up a list here? Something simple, who - what you got - roughly where.

I'll start:

Robbie H - VCT2000/Vida 2008c - Manchester

[reynolds_p1]

Vol-FCR
and an ELM327 generic reader with a few different programs.

Have used VOL-FCR to reset the service light on my 850 but it won't read codes, don't think it likes the USB-Serial converter i use with my laptop! Has been fine on a 99 V70 tho and should work on most other models that are OBD2 equipped. The 850 is a bit fussy when it comes to diagnostics!

I'm in Derby if i can help anyone out.

Cheers,
Adam

I did mention in that thread about using certain indicators for the different models, I know its incredibly anal but if we did we could have assigned a symbol for people willing to share their diagnostic software with others.

Hi Vagmuncher

I see you have a BSR PPC.

Will that extinguish an 'SRS AIRBAG SERVICE URGENT' message?

Also I was hoping to carry out a full service on the car myself and therefore could the BSR update to say service done at X miles?

Many thanks in advance.

I've tried to access the Zeemap, but it appears that will only allow a certain number of views before it needs to be paid for.

I'm based in Cardiff - since taking my xc60 to main dealer for a health check it has began to show a 'reduced performance' message. I don't want to have to take it back to them and be charged a fortune for a diagnostic.
Would you be willing to have a look for me?
