Hi

Obviously you cannot beat Star Diagnostics but I just spent £136 on ebay and bought an Icarsoft MB2 OBD reader. I was suitably impressed. My problems were with the TCM on a 56 plate a class. For best results the engine has to be running otherwise certain modules in the car do not respond.

As above.

I have the same ICarSoft diag tool and am very impressed. I can even test the detection range of individual PDC sensors. I even found a seat diagnosis for my SL.
