Diagbox North Yorkshire

[paradox1001]

Is there anyone with diagbox near bedale in North Yorkshire?
I’ve an intermittent starting problem and could do with getting the car scanned to see if any codes show up.

If no one replies, it might be best to get an OBD reader to check the codes. They are not expensive and can be linked to a SmartPhone app like Torque.

Problem is, they can only access P codes for engine errors and nothing else, so if the fault is with a comms network, a relay or another component outside the engine, it will not be found by a generic unit.

May be worth asking on the FCF (French car forum) as they have a map of people with Diagbox where we don't.

True on both points, just thought an OBD reader for a few quid might be a good starting point.

Sorry mate, yeah it's definitely worth a try for a few quid. The adaptors which work are the Carly one (not the software though) and the vGate iCar one off Amazon, both are under £20 and may help.

The apps you say as in torque pro and "car scanner" on the Google app store are probably the best of the bunch.
