At very least the 3 higher end Autels can all do Injectors and Batteries, plus soooooo much more, that is why I say they are best bang for the buck, they are as competent as things like Bosch and Autologic that cost 10 times as much !! Injector Codes and Batteries is not per se Programming Work I would think some of the cheaper Autel's will do Injectors and Batteries etc, just not Programming and Version Coding, although I'm not familar with them, to me they are a DIY Machine My £2100 Autel was cheaper than my Snap On, both will do Injectors / Batteries and similar tasks, but the Autel comes with J2534 Pass Thru and will do Version Codings and Vehicle ECU Software Updates too, it is cheaper than my Solus Ultra Pro. Autel first year was free to update it, and after that it is no where even remotely near the £600, (that was a discounted "amnesty" deal btw) that Snap On Charged for updating the 4 year old Solus in December 2018 !!

The best bang for the buck is Autel Maxisys Pro, around £1800 Snap On is a rip off for the updates, Delphi is good, but like MarkTVS said no one machine does all. I have all 3 of those, (well actually I have the Maxisys Elite which is good for access to some hard to get on line database files but you'll not need that unless your Techie is a flasher ), they are a good arsenal for all day to day stuff. As most of you know I also go way more in depth than just code reads and have around 12 different Dealer Level machines too, there isn't really anything I cant diagnose and fix in house, recently started EEPROMMING work too !! Yes, for general Car Sales work the Autel will pay for itself time and again. Beware of that Solus for that price

Wankers Tossers and Jerk Offs the lot of 'em, mummy must have banned them from Porn Hub

LIKE and Agreed I was gonna say:- I would have expected my unrestricted 180 BHP n/a ZX 12R to have left the Tesla within the first 1/8th, but a bit of a fuzzy memory as I sold it 14 years ago My S55K is kicking out the same numbers as your Jag, and last year down Broadford Airstrip I left the Tesla well within the first 1/4, at that point I didn't have the correct wheels and tyres on it as I was refurbing the staggered set, so instead of the decent 275's it only had cheapie 245's on it, no bullshit the Traction Control was definitely limiting mine, but it still ate the Tesla A very recent Top Gear ran the new Tesla against a C63 AMG and a couple of other big IC's , their footage showed that the Tesla fucked off over the first 1/4, and after that it was only the big Merc that annihilated it, personally I think that test footage was rigged for media propaganda EV promotion purposes ................... I have driven a fair few C63's and they are quicker than my 55K, either that or the spanking new Tesla is light years in front of my buddies 1 year old Tesla that we raced down Broadford Airstrip last summer. Cost him an expensive lunch that did

Yeah, sure, it can get up and go better than a lot, (for the first approx 1/4 mile), but after that, over the next 1/4 mile the Superbike / S55 Kompressor, C63 AMG etc etc will just fuck off and leave it for dead ............... That has been proven by myself and many others. Says it all, and in the real world as opposed to the "Fairy Dairy Land" propaganda However, even I can see the benefits of owning one if you live and work in / around one of our cities. But, as I used to regularly do 650 mile journey, Kyle to Kent. Average of a 10 - 11 hour drive overnight these days. 12 years ago, overnight, I did it in 6 hours 55 mins, I would never get near that nowadays due to significantly increased Traffic, IR SCameras, M/Way Road Works, Detours, etc etc. V8 S Class will do 400 + miles on a full tank at 80 - 90 mph, 10 minutes in services and you're off again !! CDI E Class Diesel will do door to door at the same speed (just) on a tank full !! .................... Serious questions, as I simply have no idea ..................... How far will the Tesla go on a full charge at 80 - 90 mph ?? How long does it take to fully recharge ?? What is the real world (sustainable) cost of charging one ?? (not you can recharge for a pound etc etc due to subsidies etc, 'cos that is not sustainable long term), same as the free road tax etc, once everyone is driving these fucking things it will all be taxed to the hilt)

The only way I'd ever consider being forced into a non Petrol Engined Car would be if I were allowed to rebuild an older IC Car of my choice with Electric power in my own workshops ............... i.e create my own Electric Hot Rod. I somehow doubt I would be allowed to do so by the time all this is implemented, so as far as I'm concerned they will have to jail me for continuing to use my V8's after they are outlawed. By the time that all happens, hopefully I'll be past driving myself around anyway. Oh, and btw, getting rid of IC Engines WILL NOT make a significant difference to the Ozone / Atmosphere ................. It is all just simply propaganda bullshit spawned by some know nothing wanker. Why the fuck should I and the millions of other Petrol Headed IC lovers be told we can no longer pursue our love of IC engined Cars, when there is in fact no tangible argument to support all this Eco Bollocks ...................... None of it stands up in a decent technical argument .................... Electric Cars are no more environmentally friendly than a modern IC Petrol, they are just made out to be by morons who have been cloned !! I'm out

You are dead right ................... Trouble is the tree huggers will keep making noise until the infrastructure is in place, the Govt will find the billions from somewhere, likely by more taxes for us lot

Not quite there yet

Just re flow the connections

LMFAO I'm sure it will not !!

Finishes @ 7pm tomorrow, (well 18:55) if anyone fancies a bid

LOL

This is an absolutely perfect example of why not to fit parts supplied by a 3rd party ........................ It also sounds to me like a perfect example of why the mechanic should have a good torque wrench and actually get it out of the drawer & use it I actually think he is trying to tell us that he has a bigger wad than anyone else Muppet !! The only reference I have made is to the use of cheap parts ............................ Just another noob digging a hole, still hasn't answered whether I can go and buy a Car off him at cost with no profit whatsoever. OK so should I fit the 3rd party parts, with absolutely no warranty and a 30% increase in my normal labour charge NO That has been proved to fuck you over on many occasions if / when someone takes you to court, I had a good mate in the Transmission game who lost his house, business the whole lot because he fitted a Gearbox supplied by the Customer which all went horribly wrong when its diff seized up and someone crashed and got injured. Judge ruled that he was the expert and should have known the part was defective Cheers for now, I expect "I vill be back"

It is simple economics, a Workshop needs to put a mark up on it's parts, also does not need the hassle of having to do a warranty job upon parts supplied by a 3rd party. I do do work for traders, and I give them a discount on my hourly rate. I personally know all the local garages in my area, all mark up parts prices, (some horrendously), and none will fit parts supplied by a customer. Too many potential implications fitting parts supplied by others IMHO

FFS Can I buy a Car off you, I want it for exactly what it cost you though Jeeeeezzzzzus mate, you wouldn't of got me to fit your own cheap parts ..................... A Workshop is a business like any other, and relies on selling decent quality parts with a percentage mark up, a decent Workshop stands by the Client and warranties its own Parts and Labour ................. Plus who is gonna get the grief when the Chinese / El Cheapo (delete as appropriate) clutch shits its pantaloons next week ..................... I'm Out

Who want's to bet that will sell for well over it's mint well historied brother

30kw leaf 30kW ? ......................... 30kW ? .......................... Fuck me, my 5.5 V8 is almost 500kW and pretty damn quick, which must mean that an Electric Leaf is about as much fun as a blow job off a bear I am doing something very similar right now Absolutely +1

Gun, more like rocket launchers and fuck, have you seen Tina Turner lately , nah Mel will be riding shotgun

LIKE

I've already got all that worked out, a Mad Max styled all Matt Black W220 S55 Kompressor, running Hilborn Alky Injection and NOS, with steel plates and peep slots for windows, huge steel bullbars, the cops EV's won't be able to catch me, and yeah ............... wait for it ......................... wait for it .................... It's gonna be "The last of the V8's mate"

Riff RAF

I absolutely love that /\ /\ /\ A proper ripper young man

Have you been up here recently lol, (I'm thinking of one of our local residents who lives up the top of Carr Brae) He once fell over paraletic outside the pub, we slung him over the back of the Horse, slapped it's ass and away it went, took him home all the way ....................... And on that note lets spice things up a bit ................ AUTONOMOUS ........................... Who the fuck needs that, Neil's horse is fully autonomous ....................... And what is gonna happen to the Economy / Cops next year when you won't be able to buy a new Car that doesn't come with nanny state Speed Limiters that you can't actually turn off ...................... No need for plod, no billions of revenue from the Scameras, ........................ I did say early on that I could go on for hours ..................... Fuckin' 'ell ........................... I've been saying since my 20's that Guy Fawkes had the right idea

Fuck yeah exactly that, I drive like both depending on mood / vehicle And more words of wisdom form AD, my annual road tax bill is around £1900 squid for the vehicles we currently own and use. What the fuck is that all about, Mel and I can never drive more than 2 vehicles at once ....................... The tax should be on the fuel....................... Oh, wait

I agree with all of that /\ /\ /\ except .................... Yes, we Petrol Heads all will for a while, but eventually we will be outlawed, 5, 10 perhaps years ??????????? Likely the only place you will be able to use an IC Engined Vehicle by then will be at Classic meets like Goodwood ................. And then you will have to have deep pockets to have said Classic transported to and from the Track by Electric Lorry Transporter company The clones can wipe out our use of IC Engines overnight with the stroke of a keyboard. This poxy country is fucked now !! I might as well tell you all now, I am no longer buying stock / selling Cars etc, Sales is now officially finished for me. I am currently still running the Workshop, plus investing and training myself in other skills that will be more suited to Clonesville UK. Whether I eventually actually open my doors to such skills is a moot point, but it gives me plenty to do for the forseeable, and I always love to learn and move with technology. I am keeping a close eye on a huge modern workshop locally that will be fucked when all this goes through, I just may make an offer and employ a few local guys, or then again I might just sell up, buy a large enough motor yacht and fuck off around the world, (if the Yacht Engines are still allowed by then)
