Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

Aug 2006 at 09:43 Tech2 does make you lazy though - for instance, yesterday when Tunnie and I put the project car back together, the EML came on. Rather than retrace and double check all connections, a quick Tech2 showed it was 'Air Intake Valve 1 Low Voltage' which led us straight to rear multiram not being plugged in...
