[alanbradley]

Hey folks!

I've mentioned this to some of you before, but I'm looking to buy a ScanGauge unit for my car and thought that if more of us were interested then it should be possible for us to build up some sort of discount - if even in the postage from the Greek distributor.

If any of you are in doubt what a ScanGauge can do then here's the linky to their site. Before you look, here's a summary of some of the features to whet your appetities...

Bought "normally" this costs £114.50 (or 3 visits to Mr T and less than practically all the ODB2 kits I've found on the 'net). I've managed to negotiate it to £100 Iincluding postage.

I already have firm orders for 2 and would like to make it to 5.

Either slap your interest up in this thread or pm me...

PS This comes highly, and personally, recommended to me.

Darn, meant to mention that this is a great investment if your Toyota doesn't respond to the "diagnostic paperclip" (ie D-4D amongst others) and is fully transferable between vehicles of all makes...
