The Topdon ArtiDiag800BT is a higher spec compared to the 600 I linked to above and well reviewed on YT. It has life time free updates. Have sent an inquiry to see if it supports 2003/04 cars.

I've decided to invest in an OBD scanner that does more than my Aldi source code reader. I want one that supports ABS. Having looked across YT, I came across this TOPDON product. Comments welcome please.

On my house, which I've lived at for two years, there's a sky dish which presumably was installed at the time of the house build back in 2003/04. All the other houses in the street have a dish too. I've just tuned my old Grudig Digibox in which I've had since 2005. I can get the likes of...

Will investigate further!

I returned the car this morning and I had a ride out in the car with its owner, she heard the slight knocking and pointed it out to me. It actually happened on a nice straight smooth stretch of road rather than a bumpy stretch. Seemed to be on the n/s under the bulkhead. No loose heat shields...

I have actually fitted two new tyres to my own car a few years back. Purchased online and spent an enjoyable Saturday afternoon fitting them. Apology from Mottie accepted.

The tyre size in question is 195 55 16. The tyre centre I went to stocks budget new and part worn tyres. We've never had bother with them, a sole operator who's been in business for 40 years or so. The annoying thing about tyres is, even if new, you get a puncture close to the shoulder or...

When I got the car to drive, a slight knocking seemed to be on the o/s front. I looked at both sides suspension and all bushings and ball joints were good. When turning the wheel, I could feel a slight clunk on the o/s spring at the top. I removed the strut and dismantled it but the strut...

Sorted out a slow puncture on a family car yesterday. I took the wheel off and found both a small screw head and a thin wire spike in the tread centre about 14" apart. Took it to local tyre centre and the fella said they wouldn't repair the punctures because little feathering cracks on the...

I've been asked by my niece to investigate a rattle on her 1.4 Tipo. She's been back to the dealership (no older cars) twice with whom the car has warranty. Thus far, they've replaced a drop link under warranty. Are there any suspension weak points on these Fiats?

From what I've read, over-sleeving is not allowed in 18th Edition and for such as a boiler's wifi thermostat base unit, 4 core cable should be used, the gray wire used as switched live.

What I did was, with the lock shields closed, drain the radiator off through its drain spout on the neck, then opened the lock shields one at a time and let the water from the pipe drain out through the drain valve. No sludge evident in the collected water. When filling the radiator, I opened...

Regarding the T3R base unit wiring, this video may be of use.

I want to flush the feed and return pipes on what I believe is the by pass radiator in my CH system. The radiator is a 900x600 Myson double panel with both lock shield valves fully open. The radiator does get hot but the bottom middle gets luke warm if that even after hours having the CH on...

I noticed the valve was upside down, or at least I noticed the letters were. Now I know what the valve does and how it does it. Does the orientation of the valve effect performance? ....... its downstream from the pump also pictured.

Tap/shower fitted and yes, its performance is rather poor due to gravity fed HW. Will look to getting a HW pump fitted. One aspect that bemuses me. Why are HW Pumps only rated up to 65° C ? ....... not particularly hot?

Noted. I shall source a fibre washer. Thanks!

The feed pipe to tap spout had a fibre washer on. Can I use a rubber o ring for the seal when refitting?

I'd say not because I fitted new hinges when fitting the bubble gasket. I can move the window frames about 2mm further to the hinge side to make the hinge and lock side overlaps the same. I'm thinking of fitting some R5019X gasket which is wider than the bubble gasket I fitted.
