.....
 Just as an example, there is one near me (a railway arch) that is sufficient to work on at least one car and store tools for £300/mo.  .......
I think that CaptainZok should get a railway arch somewhere up in this neck of the woods.  ;D  ;D Not that I live very far from him or owt.
LOL I borrow a mates place over Platt Bridge, nice dry garage. Unfortunately the pits outside so I MAY be rather wet tomorrow.

I like the idea of this but just another thought......

If say 100 of us chipped in to buy some stuff; would use of it be limited to whomever had contributed & what about members that join after?

Could be an idea, to keep it fair for all to put in equal funds covering the cost of intial outlay for tools and also meaning everyone is equal so no hierarchy business, the additional funds could be put to use of replacing any tools which get broken at any point.

Just an Idea :-/

In my opinion.....those who put in....then get to share the tools....those who dont...dont get to loan the tools....and members who join later......if they are willing to put in amount others did....then yes they get to share the tools....but their amount goes to replacing broken/damaged items...so yes i agree with that idea  :y

Sounds like we need to add a loaner miggy to the list.  People are often desperate for wheels while they get things organised to do the repair.

Its been looked at and reviewed some where....

It allows fault code reading and clearing, live data, key programming etc.

Does not support software upgrades and works off a standard laptop.

Covers all the Omega power plants though...
i believe there would be an issue with licencing the s/w....

Idea here.....most software is allowed to be installed on one pc......so if someone installed the software on a laptop....as long as they uninstalled it......then next person would be able to install it on their laptop....and so on....its a bit of a grey area  :-/

Only other way i can think of.....is a laptop with the software installed on is provided as well......but this might start getting costly with shipping?  :-/

Very grey area. Also, I believe the way that the software in question works does tie it to the hardware...

If your talking about the Opel AutoScanner that I have the interface has a serial number the software has the same serial number. Try and run the software with a different interface disables the interface.

Well the basic idea is good, but rather than everyone put cash in which leaves one or 2 persons to oversee teh purchase and storage/maintenance of said tools  etc
How about this for an idea, why not try a thread where everyone who has such devices as engine hoist etc and would be prepared to lend them out for a weekend? as long as every one puts thier particular area in someone who needs it may have to drive say fifty miles to borrow it but thats still cheaper than hiring said item surely??

I have some, but 'homemade'

Worked on the MV6 fronts, but wouldn't like to loan in case my welding wasn't up to scratch...

These look really good and reasonably priced.  It's just more crap to ride around in the boot though.  All my other tools are there, including torque wrench.  I have nowhere else to keep them.
