    I'm looking for an independent garage with SDS (Star Diagnosis System) in Cork area. Any advice?

    I just finished setting up Star Diagnosis (Xentry and DAS) for an indy last month, but he's on holidays for 2 weeks. Could you wait that long?

    Shouldn't be a problem. I was using it on my car a few weeks back to adjust the clutch actuator. It was a nightmare to get the diagnostic software up and running - took about 3 days or so, but it's an impressive bit of kit. Makes the BMW system look ancient.

    Sounds interesting - is that anything that you could share or that's a trade secret?

    Can you PM me a contact to him?

    I'll PM when I'm home, just on the iPhone now and it's not easy to PM with this :) no secret really, just had to configure the hardware interface box correctly, and chase the manufacturers for license keys for the software. Problems started after that with timeouts and incorrect data, but I have a fee software fixes for those.

    Shame on you for selling a merc! ;)
    Thanks, but Galway is a bit too far - I hope to find someone closer to Cork.
