    Too good to be true?

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=008

    What do you think of this lot? Is it worth it?

    Looks like a lot of money for an old P3 laptop, some cables (which, ok, a couple of which might be of use), Windows 2000 pre-installed and possibly of unknown provenence, and car diagnostics software which the T&C's (down the eBay page) point out may be freeware/shareware, available somewhere else, and/or expire at some point of you don't cough for a full version.

    If it were my money (and others might disagree), I'd be keeping it in my pocket and remembering the phrase "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is".

    Ck.
    Shocked, exhausted, hosed, bushed, dumped, chipped, mounted, filtered, gauged, packed, intermittantly wiped and braked. I mean broken. Now, about the car...

      that 12v adaptor that is included in there is the same one as i bought from china off ebay a while back,it started smoldering as soon as i plugged it in.Opened it up and it looked like it had been made from rice and cow muck!.Did get a full refund though.

        tbh your probably be better off sourcing the bits seperately rather than that kit as mentioned above.

          Thats exactly the phrase I was thinking of.

          "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"

          Ta for the replies everyone.

            If the dodgy red paint on the chinky cables is anything to go by, stay well clear of it.
