    There seems to be loads of options these days, lots of new companies releasing amateur usage orientated devices
    Depends on what you're looking to spend and what functions you'd like it to do. If you're after basic engine code reading/clearing then £10-20 would cover it. You can get the slightly more advanced units around £50 but their functionality is still quite limited. If you're wanting basic live data and special functions, as well as read/clear on a few other system then £100-150 would buy you one of the topdon/launch tablets which I would say are perfect for home usage.
    If you're looking to get more advanced with live data/special functions in other systems then it goes upwards from £200-500 depending on what you need..
    In summary, whatever the latest offering from Topdon or Launch in your price range is probably the way to go. There's Kingbolen as well. They're all mostly the same anyway

    Well, after years of patching and repairs, I’ve finally decided to get my Defender put on a galvanised chassis. The original one lasted over 30 years and 207k miles so has done well, particularly as the previous owner of 10 years used it for launching boats in the sea. Looking forward to no longer having to roll around under it getting showered in dirt and sparks, this should now see me out.

    Changed The V70's engine oil and filter this morning, after being constantly nagged by the dashboard display for the past couple of weeks that it needs doing. I'm glad that it only needs to be done annually, as I have very little inclination do anything but check/top up the levels and check the tyre pressures these days.
    Being an Skilled Amateur Mechanic* of nearly 30 years' standing, I have an electric oil extraction thingy in my arsenal of tools, so the actual job was dead easy, but the aftermath was pretty grim; even in limited quantities, spilt used diesel engine oil is horrible stuff. I could never be a professional mechanic.
    Managed to put the car through the local IMO car wash on the way to collect the new oil, as it hadn't been washed since the end of September. It did a surprisingly good job, although the wheels could do with a further going-over:

    Not a bad looking car, but it would be a lot better if I gave it a T-Cut and polish, but it's not that sort of car. In any case, I'd rather drive cars than polish them these days. I did put some Clearvue on the exterior glass, though.
    As for The Volvo, its MOT ran out in the summer and I gave up trying to fix its seeeming incurable running issues not long after. Last time I tried tinkering with it in October, when I fitted a new idle air control valve, it wouldn't even attempt to start, even after I refitted the old one, so I seriously lost interest. I'm in no mood to get it back on the road, despite December 11th being the 20th anniversary of my owning it. Perhaps I'll have another go over Christmas, when I'm off for 10 days.
