hiya, I have ordered the adapter and am waiting for it to be delivered
in the meantime, my friend plugged his laptop in that has something similar called multidiag, he used this system when working for a recovery company/breakdown service
anyway it showed up a fault as being the pressure converter, which is the small valve just below the slam panel which controls the vac to the actuator, this was a couple of days ago and I jumped on the 'net and bought a brand new one, its coming from Germany.
This afternoon I have had the original valve out, rigorously used my vac pump on it, the valve itself makes a few wheezing noises, not entirely healthy, I tapped it, sweared at it, and refitted it, upon driving I can only describe the car as being normal! and OK! - power in a useable place in first gear! I was initially just going to drive it from my back yard round to the front of the house, but instead as the car was driving that good I just done a 40 mile trip halfway up the M56 and back!
however after restarting after a visit to the shop, it was back to being poor.
But I know what the fault is, and the part is on its way.
And so is an adapter, so I can use
MES, in the future.
