Right, was up at Deeside yesterday for me car shopping list.

Tried to blag (or even buy) a gearbox software update, but they kind of looked at me like I dropped from space.
Disspeared into the back, and eventually came back with cant do it here, we do Vans and comercial really, you would need to take it to Sealand.
So according to them, there is a specific tech2 and tis, just for vans!
(rubbish)
So sounds like for car work, ie your fob, my gearbox etc, they either dont know, dont want to or cant be ar5s3d.

I asked how much it would be, she said standard diagnostic of £72 + vat!!!!!!
it would be cheaper to drive to The Boy's and have him do it! (just).

Good luck and hope Sealand dont want that sort of money!

Seems thats Vxall standard price for Tech2 connection. Charged the same to find out my alarm sounder had failed - took them all of 20 mins.

It's nice to know I'm not the only person they seem to be fobbing off.  :-?

When you say sealand, do you mean the one with the Renault showroom next door to it, across the road from the Park and Ride?

I might get my carpass from Deeside, as that seemed pretty cheap from there. I need to nip to Halfords on Greyhound Park on Saturday anyway, so might go to Vauxhall whilst I'm there. Worth a try.
