Be VERY VERY careful fella, unfortunately there is a lot of this stuff on the market that can turn a healthy car into a non starter after filling the ECU with complete garbage...

We've seen plenty of cars come to us on recovery trucks for us to try and recover the ECU to make it run again...

One file DOES NOT suit all!

Cheers will ,
This is why i need someone to check it out for me , the last thing i need is to corrupt someones ecu . Im not interested in the mapping/tuning side of things its just something that came with the disc package i bought .im only interested in the obd fault code/reset side of things (switching off airbag lights etc etc)
I have saved the discs contents on my hd so if anyone wants to have a look i can send the disc or possibly email the files bearing in mind they are a bit large.
