Then my personal opinion is that you only need the lowest spec for those two cars.

On the other hand maybe you should plan for the future when you might have a C5 X7 and he has Peugeot 508 and get the best spec that they do.

Gave easy diagnostics a call today as I was told on Monday that they would be getting a delivery of Lexia's
on Friday (today) seems that delivery will not now be until Monday.
There goes my fun over the weekend of setting it all up.

well that's it the deed is done and paid by pay-pal. Lexia purchased from easy diagnostics.

it would seem that any mention of the FCF does not lead to any kind of discount at all.

I simply received a phone call this morning to confirm that they were now in stock and I could order online.

still had to fork £20.00 postage if I want it tracked as I do. £138.00 incl p+p.

There are no longer three options to the kit you can buy its one kit or nothing version 7.57, I sure hope this works out.

Cant wait, (a little anxious) ive watched no end of videos on you-tube on setting it all up and I'd like it up and running for my next trip to Pleiades
if possible. April 3rd.

Thanks for the advice so far everyone.
The roof bars I found here £79.99 with an option to buy the upgraded aero bars at £109.00.

I must say that after all that's been said that Easy Diagnostics seem to be failing to honour the contents of a post by Jim last year.

Is it ominous that the original post seems to have been lost?

It is disappointing that Jim never followed up with his promise of discount codes.

The original is not lost though but due to our terms and conditions a direct advert was disallowed, hence the need for James to recommend them - as a satisfied customer.

I also feel somewhat let down by this. When I ordered mine a few years back they did knock off the P&P.
