Re: Code reader buying help
That's a bit pricey for what I need to dabble in, I'm sure it's totally worth it if you are using it to its full ability, I'm looking at products around £100 and I'm seeing the c110, very cheap and seems great reading the reviews. Thanks again

Re: Transmission failsafe help

Re: Transmission failsafe help
Snrbrtsn, my battery conditioner does the same,I was glad to see it on the conditioning cycle and holding a good charge. I disconnected the battery to do this, can you charge them when still hooked up to the car? As my charger has terminals that can be connected to the battery so I can just plug it ...
