PicoScope 7 Automotive
Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, the next evolution of our diagnostic scope software is now available.
That is very true. Especially true in countries like here where the manufactures are not forced to allow access to vehicle information. So don't. Instead flicking the bird and saying 'go figure'. Mistakes are going to happen. The aftermarket information suppliers can only supply so much.STC wrote:Glad to help, as always.
It is what it is and we just get thrown by the simple things.
As you say, Its great having all the machines, training and scopes. Access to likeminded passionate forum buddies is equally essential.
Thanks to Pico for creating that.
I will drink to that (it is Friday)
Where are you ?Especially true in countries like here where the manufactures are not forced to allow access
Its Australia all over. Being here just adds a whole new dimension with some 800 mile's to the nearest parts supplier. I was based in the Blue Mountains western Sydney until the beginning of this year. Moved for a sea change, wife got a good job, free rent, free water, free gas, free electricity. Part time Dad at the moment and cherry picking work. Local workshop rate is $150 per hour ($100 per hour is the norm but of coarse varies). If they can't fix it, it's shipped to the mainland for $2500 return. The first job I got was destined for the mainland and the fault was a corroded fuse.When you talk about getting information, tools etc. is that because you are on that remote island or is that the whole of Australia.
That did cross my mind with Brexit. But which government wants to shoot themselves in the foot? Even Boris figured it out that he couldn't win. We shall see how long it takes before article 50 is triggered if ever. I would expect no change with manufacturers. What's the Swedish model in regards to access to manufacturers information?That could become the future in the UK with Brexit. that's if we ever activate Article 50 and actually do it. I would be happy to see it all brushed under the carpet so we can crack on as we were.
I often wish that one of the parts suppliers in my town was 800 miles away. But that's another story we don't want to get into right nowwith some 800 mile's to the nearest parts supplier.
That's a No then ?Got any jobs going Freddie
Well actually I do. It's Daewoo of some sort, the complaint is it doesn't select 2nd and 4th gear but was fine before the clutch was done. I've been round and had a look. Charged the flat battery. I put 20L in the empty fuel tank. I got it to fire but turned the engine off because of the horrendous knocking noise but 2 litres of oil to bring the dipstick to minimum. Still not running properly so a quick comp test 1- 145, 2 - 145, 3 - 105, 4 - 0.0. I'm sure you're be on top of it in no time.STC wrote:I often wish that one of the parts suppliers in my town was 800 miles away.

Friends? What friends? I'm the grumpiest bugger for miles around. It's just a way of life here. Post at some stage has to go by boat. Weeks for everyday parts is exceptable and no one seems to care. It's the island way.EAAD wrote:Can you get stuff posted to you from 'friends'? here for instance???
