Default Is a T4 still available

Hi

I read many threads where the T4 is used on many occasions, but can I buy one new
Or is it a case of someone selling a secondhand one

Is there an alternative that does the work a T4 can do

I am going to have one if possible, then all I need is a few years learning the thing
Seriously though I would love one of these peices of kit

Thanks

Mel.

You really do need to know what you're doing with one. It isn't a laymans tool by any means.

I get where you are coming from, so does this mean an ex Rover/MG guy would be the perfect person to use it?, you see I do not know if these readers were the norm in Rover/MG dealerships etc

thanks.
