Thread: What diagnostic tool for a V8 Disco 2

Sorry I forget about the accident at Zygi Naval base

No worries RosiePosie. Thanks for your and everyones understanding and patience in such times of crisis.

This actually could not have come at a worse time for us, as not only are we trying to beta test the 2,06 upgrade for the Nanocom one, and of course introduce the same for the Evolution, but we are also trying to build and ship the new Nanocom Evolutions to the many patiently waiting customers we have. We also have other un mentioned and even worse aspects causing us quite some additional problems.

So it really is very trying when you get un announced power cuts for up to five hours of a seven and a half hour working day.

For those not familiar with events, Cyprus is a pretty laid back place, and It's a well accepted fact that the Cyprus Governement and all officials here are typically more incompetant than most.

So in 2009 when the Barack administration insisted Cyprus conviscate no less than 98 full size shipping containers of assorted and unknown munitions, the Cyprus government did so.

However if they had someone competent enough to research the best place to store these containers, they would have found that the place they chose was absolutely the very last place they should have. IE right next to the Countries Main Power station

If they had consulted anyone about how to store them, they would have also known that the Pyramid fashion that they chose was also the worst possible configuration.



To give you some idea of how utterly obvious this event on the 11th of July really was

The fire brigade were called out on the 6th of July to see what they could do in respect of the containers making fizzing noises and expanding under the heat.

Here is a picture that they took of what an expanding container actually means



Hardly surprising that one of the containers in the middle got so hot as to explode the whole lot in a reported 1.5 Megaton blast.

Amazingly they are only now considering that there may have been radioactive material present in one or more of the containers, which has thankfully yet proven negative.

But regardless of whatever blame or stupidity aspects there are, we simply have to live with the consequences and power cuts and adapt as best we can.

What we want to see is the post blast crater pics.

You have it good.
Our government is more incompetant than any!

Well It's a bit off topic but as you ask x 2, here is a close up Satellite picture of the area before the Explosion.

The stack of containers can be seen about a Third in from the left and about a third up from the bottom. And it is quite clear to see that you could not have got them much closer to the Power station




If you can't pick them out, Maybe this picture of the same are area will help show you where they were



Also a close up of the container area before and after



And another amazing shot of one of the containers bulging, and yes that is firemen walking along the container next to it

Look at the damage to the power station--

I just took delivery of a Hawkeye version 5. Bought from Paddack Spares, delivered to my door for $420.

Am more than happy with it. Check out "The D2 Boys Club" forum for a more balanced view on them in regards to the D2.

I have just reached a new nirvana, a completly faultless D2. No lights, no codes and no worries with this little box in my glove box.

Should I have waited for a nanocom, don't know? However my Hawkeye is not restricted to just one VIN, it is restricted to one vehicle model i.e. the D2.
