Hello fellow VPCUK-ers,
I was thinking of a way to give a little something back to the VPCUK community, which has been so helpful to me over the last few years - particularly recently with my troubleshooting woes!
The best idea I came up with was to donate a EOBD diagnostic troublecode reader, which will aid troubleshooting on the vast majority of our vehicles (what's always the first thing to check when your car breaks? "read the codes, Luke...!") However not everyone has a basic code reader available, or the inclination to buy one, so now we have a VPCUK Code Reader that is available for loan to members:
The loan system will work entirely on trust:
- I've started a new thread to track "who's got the code reader" here.
- If you need to borrow the reader, look at the thread and send a PM the member last listed there with your address. They will send it to you.
- In return for borrowing it, gratis, you have to undertake to look after it (and the instruction manual!), send it on by first class post, recorded delivery, to the next member who requests it, and update the thread with who's got it.
I can't undertake to replace it if it gets lost, but hopefully it will be around for some time and help out as many members as possible.
Other notes:
- Members must be resident in UK, Highland and Islands & Ireland only (sorry other European-ers, but the risk of losing the thing in cheapy unrecorded EU mail is too great)
- Neither I nor VPCUK accept any liability for any diagnosis made with the code reader, or indeed damage resulting from use of the code reader (if such is possible!)
- Members must have a post-count of 20 or more to request the code reader (else, you could be JohnnyBoyRacer and we might never see it again... )
Any questions or other suggestions, post up here and I will answer!
UPDATE: the instruction manual is available here.
