Hi, can you plug your MUTT-II into my VR4 as I'm having a few issues and want to know what the ECU data says.
"No mate, our MUTT's won't communicate with grey imports."
So, how do you service and repair these then?
"Best guess mate."
Oh? Well how do you service and repair cars that don't have ECU's?
"Best guess mate."
Umm! Do you think I could have a chat with the Service Manager please.
"I am the Service Manager."
Well, that sounds ridiculous to me. I'll have a chat with Mitsubishi HQ and see if they have a solution.
"I think I can download the software so that it will communicate but it's in Japanese. And I don't read Japanese. Sorry."
OK, any idea what a flashing TCL light and a handbrake warning light may mean?
"No idea."
What's your best guess?
"Haven't the faintest idea."
I was going to book it in to have the gearbox, diff and transfer box oils replaced but if you only guess at these things I think I'll go elsewhere.
"Oh I know how to do that."
Pffffffffffftt !! Not on my car you won't. :sad3: :sad3:
GAWD .......... don't these jokers make you laugh! If they charged £2 per hour I might understand ...........
Anyway, I had a chat with AP Motors near Pete's and the guy there went out of his way to dig out any info on his computer and got back to me with some suggestions. Top guy ...... think I'll send him a present.
