Tempting, but feedback suggests the seller is based in China. Bit of a gamble?

I thought about doing the same to add CC to my XTR, but when I took into account the aggro and that I then needed another laptop I decided not to risk it. In the end lighty did the job for £40 - took his son ~20 minutes and he tested to make sure it worked.(I fitted the stalk myself - took 5 minutes !) Bit of a drive to get there, but even including a tenner for diesel was a lot less hassle, and no more expensive.
Depends whether you want anything further done in the future, however for me I'd use lighty again - nice bloke too !

I should add you need a win xp laptop to run the software ( or a emulator of xp setup)
Installation is long winded and I had to use YouTube videos to guide me through it, but I got there in the end

Hi, thanks for the replies, was the forum down last night? I couldn't get onto it. I have ordered the one Mark linked to above, looks identical to the one I was looking at but at least his turned up so went with that one.
I know the hardest part will be getting the software up and running but I have a spare hard drive so will throw that in my laptop and I think I have a copy of XP somewhere, just one thing Mark, did you use a 64 bit copy of XP, I think its 64 the one I have only I have read somwhere this software might ony work with a 32 bit version.

Didn't think XP was around when 64 bit started ??? ......
anyway Diagbox will work on 64 bit W7 but don't think it does W10 yet ( mine won't ).
