I would like to buy some sort of scan tool for him that can do similar functions to the Nannycom we have for our Landies.Plenty og "generic" OBD readers on fleabay,is their a ford specific version available???
Andrew

Aren't you two good oldies He must be happy as!!!

I'd ask around some of the auto repair joints (Bigger workshops perhaps?) and find out what they are doing with their old/ obsolete 'Carman Scan', or similar scantool, lots upgrade or change brands and since the unit is usually written down to a low value quite quickly it may be a good price, also, he can use it for other makes and models too, 'Woolshed autos and engineering' will be a good start for a small business for him

If you end up with just a generic one, I can recommend the scangauge. They are reasonably priced and do a lot for what they are, reads and clears all engine codes plus acts as a customisable, 4 display digital gauge.

Saved me $3000- when everyone else said I needed to rebuild the auto and I used it to diagnose it down to a faulty sensor.

Hi Andrew, I have an "ultra-gauge" UltraGauge Automotive Information Center and OBDII Scan Tool You're welcome to have a tinker with it to see if one would suit your needs.

Cheers,

Tim
