    S and B, The Lauch X431 that you have are you able to do forced Regens on the likes of a 2010 Mercedes C220 and a 2012 Audi A5 3.0Tdi for example?

     

    I use a Delphi Clone which is really good but doesn't seem to be that good On Bmw or Mercedes

    I would be tempted to buy the cheap iCarSoft MB V2.0 for £135 for just your Merc

    Does practically everything

    I heard a rumour that Alphabet cars are to be avoided, this was one of them. Never again.

    4 Year old 320D

    On collection, I found a Manheim auction entry sheet from 3 months earlier in the middle of the service books....

    Despite a rosy AA report, the car had a blown turbo and an EML- they refused to acknowledge and insisted on a further 2 x 20 mile AA tests showed the car to be fine.

    I even brought my own fault scanner and dragged the branch manager out to observe and they refused to do anything.

    6 Months later I got £200 in goodwill of a Platinum account.

    Still, they've got the volume..

    That's all you needed to say.  Really Really dislike PW.  Always running things, always cars with problems, always have hassle and the yard is a mess. Bought a Bentley from there, glowing green across the board.  Just had it returned after 3 weeks due to electrical issues, no interior fans and it failing to start as soon as it was delivered.  Don't know how much it cost BCA to repair but it was away for such a long time I thought we were going to get a refund.  Never used such a unprofessional AH.

    Bedford are worse, but necessary.
    Don't get me started

    We use myminivin but to be honest I didn’t bother looking as silver trim cars are N14. However there are a few pre lci facelift 10 plates with silver trim had early N18 engines. I think they intro’d the engine March 2010 and then the lci facelift around sept on a 60 plate with the black trim. 

    Thankyou

    What is the deal with circa 2010 Coopers with reflective stickers on the arches like a USA car ?

    We got lucky this week with 2 2010 purchases from Scotland that we thought were N14's that turned out to be early N18's

    Enlighten me? I always thought : 

    N14 = silver trim on radio

    N18 = black trim on radio 

    Or you could just use the free VIN checker on realOEM
