Could be undertaken at a discount just for piece of mind.
I do believe that they can tell though or at least have a rough idea because a normal T4 diagnostic sees the ECU as having an unkown ROM so to speak. Not to say it's a 160 though and this is where this new service could come in of a re-flash

I do like these innovative "out of the box thinking" ideas. They should be extended to services, V6 cambelts etc. If the new owner doesn't know whether they have already been done then the traders should do the job for a lower price.

It'll be interesting to see if the idea catches on.

Think you'll find you get a receipt for services and cam belts. HTH!

Funnily enough, I enlisted the services of one of our members, to do my Belts, and upon inspection they had already been done, and he charged me now one penny, only a few Kets.

When buying a car, there's not always a reciept for works done, including Belts.

I was told by previous owner it had been done but I had to have it checked.
I'm not naming names because I have no idea where your going with this.

Aye righto

You either saw Trikey or Russ, and neither of those would have charged you to check

If you didn't see either of those people, that leaves Phil-T4 as a possibility, however I shouldn't think he would charge you to check either.

If you used a bog standard T4 operator, they wouldn't have a clue what they were looking for either .

So, to recap

1 You are an expert on reflashing mobile phones

2 Your "friend" has a car he'd like upgrading.

3 You already know your car has been upgraded, as the previous owner told you, and somebody charged you to confirm this

4 You already know you can do this job with a £10 tool from China

5 Experience, skill and knowledge obviously mean very little to you.

So why don't you simply flash the ECM in your "friends" car, and then advertise the fact you can do ii.

Honestly Shawn, you are full of it, especially about the gum residue in the rear window, don't you know the club sticker is of the cling type?, no of course not as you haven't paid the membership fee

Leave belts on of unknown age and origin,a wise move?

The giveaway was the date and mileage tippexed inside the belt cover

Anyway who would you get to change all three belts on a V6 for £12.50 and a packet of crisps.

A V6 wouldn't be a car for you I'd bet

Condition of the Belts,
Date Markings on the Casings.

Oh and add to that, the inspection of belts by a professional, not somebody with a socket set and Google.

I don't know were your getting the China stuff from?
I'm not selling anything or pushing a service.
All I'm getting is traders jumping all over me for wanting a good price for a friend.
All of what I've said is true,can't say any more.
