can you get a list of cables from Dave?

I've given Dave my list of cables and accessories. I know he has a couple I don't have. They are short adaptor cables that plug into the diagnostic port, e.g the red one.

They can be bought but they aren't cheap!

However, for those of you with petrol engines, I can offer a Blackhawk ignition analyser, dwell/tach. meters, multi-meters, compression testers, vacuum gauges. Laboratory grade optical tachometer. Ring compressors up to Cummins/Caterpillar size, torque wrenches, micrometers inside, outside and depth, vernier calipers to 12", dial gauges, dial test indicators, last word indicators, centre finders. Hand tools up to truck & earthmover size. Reamers, drills from No. 80 to 1" x MT3, counterbores. Turning capacity to 60" between centres. Mig and stick welders.

Inner Brisbane, south east. 10 minutes from the CBD when the traffic lights are friendly. Forgot a fair bit of stuff in my earlier list. Compressor, air tools, die grinders, surface and angle plates, trolley jacks, safe stands, usual hand held power tools, The normal tools of a journeyman fitter-machinist who spent much of his life in the motor and machinery industries, and as a truck owner and driver, car restorer, motor sport competitor, out of control collector.

I have the Faultmate SV as well and agree with Jamo as to its limitations at this point. However if others have this device or the Rovacom for the D3 we could still discuss what we find when using it as the Black Box website doesn't respond too well to postings. :(

Is that T4 you are using the LR T4 diagnostics(Testbook?), could use a copy if it can do the D3..

it can do the D3 and having a copy of the software is pointless if you dont have the hardware.

I now have a NANOCOM unit and am willing to help anyone that needs assistance. Might be a bit slow until I get used to unit but hey the more the better to help me understand it.

In Mooroolbark, Victoria resides a Nanocom for TD5, Def Alarm, D2 SLABS. I will be slow until I'm a bit more proficient.

Email or pm will reach me Thu - Sun most weeks.

Pete

Hi Jamo, I thought the Faultmate was a complete diagnostic and recalibrate tool?
