Case study: ScannerDanner Video

It's been a while since we featured a ScannerDanner video. Here, ScannerDanner discusses how to test for spark on a GM type two waste spark system and how to test for proper fuel injector control. He also covers testing for fuel pressure and checking the fuel pump electrical system.

Please follow our link to the video: ScannerDanner: No start troubleshooting.

Don't forget, we also have our own YouTube channel. We will be adding new videos to our channel on a regular basis, so why not subscribe and you'll receive updates when new videos are posted? You can also submit videos to our channel that you feel would suit our best of the web section.

Review competition - Huge prize list!

Our competition is in full swing, and it is great that so many of you have taken the time to leave us your feedback and reviews. It really is quite possibly our biggest giveaway ever...

To support our new product Review system we are asking you to tell us what you think of our products.
If you've bought one of our products (either direct from us or through one of our distributors) please find it on our website, look for our new Review button (as seen above) and leave us your feedback. Note that to leave feedback we must have your email address as this allows us to contact you regarding your review and if you are lucky enough to be a winner, your prize.

What prizes are on offer you ask? 9 reviews will be picked at random with prizes as follows:

  • 1 prize of a 4-Channel Standard Kit, worth £1545
  • 3 prizes with the choice of:
    • PicoScope 4-Channel scope, worth £799
    • PicoDiagnostics 4-axis NVH kit, worth £699
    • PicoScope WPS500X Pressure Transducer kit, worth £699
  • 5 prizes of a Coil-on-plug and Signal probe, worth £109 each.

In total we have 9 prizes to give away, so what are you waiting for? Head over and leave us your first review! There is no limit to the number of reviews you can leave. If you have bought a kit from us, we are more than happy for you to leave a review for each piece of equipment within the kit that appears on our site. Each review will count as an entry to the competition. More reviews, means more entries, which means more chances to win.

Terms and Conditions

All reviews left are checked by Pico Technology, and those that are deemed to be authentic will be entered into the competition. Entries must be received by close of business (GMT) on 15th April 2016. Winners will be contacted before the end of April 2016.
