Hi all,

 

Just wondering if anyone could personally recommend a reasonably priced diagnostic tool? I am a real novice when it comes to car repairs and so on, but having recently become the owner of an 09 plate Mini, I am looking for a reasonably priced diagnostic tool that I can use to identify faults going forward?

 

Thanks in advance

Minis don't really use any tool that is cheap.

 

sounds like you have a MINI

 

this is a forum for the classic Mini as you may have noticed during sign up.

 

try Mini2 or Totalmini

Try an ELM327 Bluetooth OBDII adaptor with the Torque app on your phone.

Only works with proper phones though, Android, not them girly Apple things. :D
