Too busy to have fun

Sensors removed and wires short-cicuited by a previous owner?  
Uneven pad wear on one pad only (i.e. NOT the one with the sensor on it?) due to...well no idea due to what, really :-?
Partially-blind mechanic?  

Or a typical Vauxhall dealer?

I have a distrust of most dealers. Broken spring is possible, but brake pads (assuming you have sensors)...?

Its called Tech2 (not to be confused with the proper Tech2 that garages use), but information on who wrote or owns it seems to be sketchy. It appears to have been a Hungarian project...

There are at least 3 versions of this software around - the original and very buggy. As this doesn't appear to have its own website, just instead existing on a few unknown sites, we cannot say whats its copyright status is. There is the commercial one, available from OnBoardDiagnostics at £490. There also appears to be an intermediate version, don't know much about it as I'm still waiting for feedback.

The copyright status of the commercial one is clear, the other two are not as clear cut.

Discussion around using the software is fine, and I think posting links as to where to get the original buggy version should be OK (unless the copyright owners tell us otherwise), but open discussion on where to acquire the commercial version without paying are a no-no. Sorry.

I'd recommend resizing image to size, and hosting somewhere like photobucket...
