What “just enough” code reader

[Neens76]

Need a code reader as there doesn’t seem to be anyone local to me with one on here. Don’t want to spend a fortune, needs to be stupid proof, but want something decent and available quickly. Any thoughts?

needs to be stupid proof,

I would go for whichever one B21 has, then! :lol: :lol:

Either buy an Autophix 5900 or pay me the fuel to come to you with mine

Ancel BM700, big and chunky! You can buy it from Amazon and send it back if you don't like it.

Just to throw another option in to the mix - I ended up with a Creator C501, which set me back about £50 - looks like you can pick it up on ebay or https://www.obd2shop.co.uk/wholesale/creator-c501-bmw-multi-system-scanner.html for a similar price,

Pretty happy with it so far, helped me diagnose a failing water pump:

Excellent. Thanks everyone.

I’d happily do this just to get a bit of your expertise if it’s not too much bother.

Well now I'm retired I have time for a run out. PM me your address and I'll have a look at the distance.
Will be next week earliest though.
