Default Name Change?

You'll have to change your name.... Phil-T45 (or is it T54?)
At least you'll have some cars to work on once all the 75s and ZTs have been scrapped .

Does T5 cover Roewe 750, 550 etc? Their coolant exp tanks have a level sensor fitted.

Just thinking about my recent quest for enabling Highline Message Centre IPK.............

Very good news Phil, a virtual t5 for mg3/6 owners would definitely be a global godsend!

Does the T5 actually cover the new MG models do you know yet Phil?

I thought the T5 was made for Land Rover and Jaguar products.

I have been trying to find out as much as I can about diagnostics for my 3, as they are still quite new can't even get a haynes for them yet and probably wont ever do one most likely.

As far as I can tell SAIC uses a VDS interface for the Roewe and MG brands which I think is made by Bosch and is basically the same system as the GM system.

I am looking to see if there is anything toward the end user that may do half decent diagnostics for the 3 for DIY mechanics, but it's probably too early to be able to get anything useful for it I guess.

Phil is unwell and in hospital, may be some time before he's well enough to help.

Hi.
Just added a new thread regarding service light resetting. Thought I'd ask here too.
Any generic reset tools that work or has Phil cracked the T5 and able to suggest how to reset his without the dealer charging an arm and a leg??
