    Laptop based Scantool

    For my GT yes, just the reader with the can 2 adapter attached to it (both click together) Most if not all of the other access menus items was just the reader itself, nothing attached to it. In any case it is a very clever tool, there will be a pop up that asks you to check you have the right...

    Laptop based Scantool

    Not one button that does all, you go into each individual section and then it does a scan of that section. I had a play today. One thing that caught me out, for the instrument cluster I needed to connect the can 2 adapter. I didnt notice it as I was in a rush and then my instrument lit up with...

    Laptop based Scantool

    How you getting on with it? I've only used my easy mas once before I put the GT into storage. It's back on the road and I'm going to look at it in more detail. I have decided I'm going to plug it in and just leave it in. It will only draw 2mA in battery saver mode

    Clutch wear claims from Selling (independent) dealership

    I agree you should know the clutch wear. As this dealer dosent know, then an alternative pre PPI check would be to buy an appropriate code reader and check the clutch wear yourself, and general look over before committing to a PPI. If you don't end up buying this car, you can use it on the...

    OK thanks! And then just reconnect? Anything in particular when I turn the key, or just don't over think it! Lol. Truth Is I've never worried about it on any other car I have owned!

    GT: Body drain hole location(s)?

    Ah thanks! I will take a look, tomorrow. I will have the GT on the ramp tomorrow and my plan is to get as much cleaning in 1 day done as possible. Did you fit new plugs for any particular reason? Where they just showing deterioration? Or damaged during removal/cleaning?

    GT: Body drain hole location(s)?

    I have had a look in the workshop manual, and a general forum search, but I cannot determine from my armchair what the body drain (water) locations are on a GT. Does any one know of hand. I am happy to have a look, if you explain the general location. The reason I ask, is simply because I...
