Hi,
New to the forum and apologise for another thread on diagnostic scanners.
I have searched, but still have questions regarding what type to buy.
My dad just bought a 2002 SL 55 AMG with a Black Series body kit, and it has some issues.
I have only seen it once at the auction site, and don't know much about it yet.
The car will be picked up in two weeks.
Known problems:
- Engine is running rough
- Air suspension has faults. Probably a leak.
- One of the side windows are faulty
- Roof is faulty - don't know if it moves at all
These faults and probably more need to be scanned.
I see you mostly recommend the iCarsoft.
I am a fairly experienced DIY garage person.
The scanners I have looked at:
- iCarsoft MB v2.0 - avoid fakes - got it!
- Star Diagnostic pc and cables from eBay
Questions:
Will the iCarsoft MB v2.0 read everything I need for these tasks and future fun?
Is the Star diagnostic too advanced for a DIY'er?
If you recommend the star, please see the link below. Is this all I need, and what's it worth?

Thanks for all answers,
