I’m trying to decide whether to go and look at cars tomorrow (preferable in terms of them not selling before I go look) or friday (more time for dongle and software to arrive).
Both the Diagnostic Software and the cable say that they should be here today. It would be really nice to be able to turn up, plug in the cable and go ‘ah, no’ or ‘ah, let’s go for a test drive’ without faffing about with guesswork about the state of the batteries, or whether there are any known dubious faults with the car.
In a way it’s good, it’s nice to have that reassurance that I can plug in a device and it should tell me lots of important things about the car, I’m not so reliant on listening and feeling for problems (a system that obviously worked so well when buying the Austin), but also it’s scary modern shit.
