Hi Is there a DIY diagnostic scanner that is suitable for use on a 1998 W210 (E55)? It has the 38 pin under bonnet plug Thanks

I'm having an alarm problem with the car, siren already replaced with a new one from Mercedes. Think it might be the simplest thing to get it hooked up to a STAR system. Any recommendations for an indy in Brighton and how much should I be paying to have it diagnosed? Thanks in advance.

The very first problem of any kind in 32 months has just popped up on my 2012 C350. The yellow engine diagnostics warning lamp is staying on. I spotted it today when I happened to be close to my main dealer, so popped in. They can't look at it until next Monday. But we're off to Wales at the...

I need to get a W203 on a star machine to figure out why the alarm keeps going off randomly. What's the going rate? I seem to remember paying £45 or so a while back, but the dealer I called asked for £120... M
