You do know that work means you have to actually do something ????



it's in the last 10 secs of the clip

 

Happy to report my favourite car lives on. New MAF sensor and my OBD reader found a faulty coil, luckily Repco had one in stock this morning. Onwards to 500k km

You're very good for a radio locust

I've never used one , so where does the OBD reader connect to ?

 

There’s a connection under the steering wheel area on all modern cars, this device is awesome and has paid for itself already

 

My 1998 bmw735 had a connector in the centre of the engine which was where I was expecting you to say

Don't mechanics want to get dirty any more by lifting the bonnet and ACTUALLY seeing the engine ??

 

The Z3 has one in the engine too as well as under the dash. I read somewhere that all cars must have one under the dash for basic OBD data.

 

Just did a quick search and found this :

Well you learn something new every day

I'm such a tecno dud

 

Call Marc

 

like he'd know anything

He can only fix cars if you hold the mobile near the engine ..... how hopeless is that

 

I’m going to record this as the moment where whatever small credibility you had went flying out the window...

 

So has anyone a genuine suggestion of a reasonably priced (sub $500) obd reader suitable for My car ? or are they all exotic money

Nope

The one I bought was 2nd hand, $1k ($5k new) and even that won’t give you full functionality with a Ferrari. It does however get into all the ECUs of the Volvo and BMW I’ve tried it on

Cheers Greg still a grand isn’t to rough if it’s helping you with your cars,I’ve got all the codes for the 360 so it would be handy to have something like that,who makes the one you have?

You don’t need an expensive OBD reader, Adrian, you just need to keep an eye on your fuel gauge...

 

Autel, it will read the code and tell you what it is, then you can erase it. Also capable of live data, that pic I posted showing the misfire was with the engine running

You’re welcome to borrow it whenever you might need it

 

Hahaha I honestly didn’t see that one coming Greg I’ll try out one of the many cheap jobs out their ,so many to choose from

Well he is a pilot so it would "fly out the window"

Did you want to be a pilot ?

What happened ?

 

Actually, Gary’s a bus driver...

I wanted to be a pilot from the moment I realised they’re basically a bunch of lazy overpaid alcoholics.

 

:

All RAAF pilots were called knuckleheads ..... but said with the utmost respect of course (good mate's son is a Herc pilot working 7 days a week)

Didn't know Gary flew AirBUS

Thought he was a boing driver
Isn't that the noise they make as they "land" ..... boing boing boing

 

Are you building a church?

Blimey! Good work.

Is that a garage / dog kennel to house a future purchase / yourself?

 

Sounds like a job in telly (and the firm pays for the grub and booze)

That's what I thought.

Probably going to claim to be a Not For Profit organisation.
