Wanted star Benz eqyipment

[mahussain2000]

Hi without sounding like a charity case, but does any member have mb star kit (spare) that they could donate to me as a merc enthusiast (strictly non commercial), who would love to run diagnostics on own motor?

If anyone can help I am willing to pay, but unfortunately can't afford the kit new.

Thank you.

Whats wrong with the car?

Its great to have a Star but if you dont know how to interprit the information then its pointless.

Donate? There's charity and there's TTP

Donations are for cancer research and the like, not a very expensive machine that many independents will happily carry out a full report for not a lot of money.

I got a full star diagnostic report on many of my Mercedes for £40 and like Ollie has pointed out, unless you're familiar with the equipment and codes, it's pointless.
