hi guys i read post's about fault code readers and you guys are always banging on about problems and first thing that is said is have you scanned for codes, now i had an old fault code reader given to me and would show faults but would not erase them so i read about fault code readers and a lot of you guys recomended the u281 from ebay and at £20 its as cheap as chips, well i ordered one and it came today so i tested it on my golf and brought up just the one code which was listed as a bad earth or something or the other i think i was hoping for more codes then again why would i as its a good thing, then decided to see if it worked on my 2002 ford galaxy diesel and it works on that now old one wouldnt even read codes on galaxy so a very happy bunny i cleared 3 fault codes of that need to take them both for a spin to see if thay return, but again thanks for recomendations best £20 ive spent well £30 if you include the t shirt i treated myself to. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

glad you said that tried to order a polo shirt selected size and then go to check out and it would not put it in, listed as in stock so thought strange so tried again not having none of it so went to plate surrounds and tried buying them order was at checkout so i could pay and transaction would have gone through if i continued, dont know if theres a problem havent tried since maybe have another go, spent a fair bit this month wife nagging maybe next month but love the theme black shirt green logo just my theme. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

took about 6 days to arive but no problems with seller at all, at first i thought it came with no book of codes but its behind the reader when you see package you will know what i mean, did scare me but i have my old readers code book so could have used that but all good. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
