This week I shall be mostly ordering more OBD2's from Amazon..

Upped the purse to 150 quids and got a scanner that has Rover in the menus.
in the sub menus it has long list of MGR cars inc ... 25,45,200,ZR ZS ZT etc ..f



It talks to the diesel auto, Inc the auto box and the ABS,

and all our other 5 different make cars , micra CVT , the Zeds, the Cmax, Golf Diesel .


It's a mucars cs4. its not a Bi directional unit

Will test it out a bit more before deciding

C

PS... Does not get on with well the 260 ...who'd have guessed

Well not in autoscan mode ,can't figure out if its an MGR or a Ford

but use the EODB menu and it reads a lot of the engine (27 functions) and also the ABS , about the same as the other scanners over 50 quid I've tried but with the ABS extra .

PS.2

The subscriptions are only for the items classed as advanced features and cost 30 dollars a year from their store accessed by the device menus ..

but for most people you don't need any of them ,E.G features such as ABS Bleeding , battery matching ( beemers).

You get the 4 most useful ones included free for a lifetime . ( thats the 4 in the name, they do a 6 as well for more cash .)
All the car make updates are free to download. even MG Rover . but probably not going to to be many of these .!
