Thanks Marek196c,
I have messaged a couple of users as soon as you mentioned that, I am now awaiting there reply.
I guess this means they have the machine to read the codes and I just sort out how much they charge with them privately.
Is there a average price for this?
Thanks
Thanks for the reply although I'm not completely sure what you mean about the yellow sideways coil spring?
