I hook up INPA on my pc. It sort of runs on win 10 and essentially runs you through a little process for each wheel where it triggers the abs pump

It is quite effective and got me further than gravity did

You can reset oil, brake fluid etc on the dash Rog.. works on all models. Already done it. I expect to trade it as cba dealing with dickheads on priv sale

I had a pretty good shout with WBAC when i sold the Aygo - got more than trade and only 200 less than privately going for on ebay. No idiots. No callers. No dodgy cash or rubber cheques. I'd use them again.

Don't recall INPA from my days. Looks handy. Did you buy the OBD cable or make one?
Yes the dash reset was always there just didn't tell you in the users manual.
If eHonda comes down to £20k be a handy commute-mobile.

An S660 would be vastly more suitable and just as much fun.

Also < 20k

You can never have enough cars with no roof.

New shape MX5 and shuffle it off to BBR for an upgrade.

Still < 20k.

Better car than either Honda.

Looks at if the Germans are getting serious about electric cars. In the near future all petrol stations will be equiped with charging stations.

Indeed but whereas you can fill the tank with diseasel in minutes, battery recharge time is still an issue. While we may see vast investment in (much slower) charging stations, in the offing is hydrogen fuel cell technology which offers a far more comparable option, fill up in minutes not hours, not such a massive weight penalty. If you think about trains for example having to carry latent energy always has some sort of penalty. Coal and diesel power withe enormous energy stores on board have given way to electricity pick-up, energy supplied on demand.
