Hi guys, been a while.

 

Is anyone able to reset the service light and oil indicator for me on my Delta 1.6 Diesel? I am in Milton Keynes.

 

Thanks!

Motormech in Birmingham can do it if you are ever up this way.............................

Yeh I bought the software ages ago, but after updating to Windows 10, from 8, on my laptop it stopped working for me. Unless I try another OBD scanner. As it could be that since there seems to be no connection.

 

Any recommendations?

What operation system is required by the software? I see you used on windows 8, but the suggested most preferable one?

You can install a virtual machine, I use VMware 12(something, I don't remember exactly), and inside there install whatever OS is required ( iso files or installation cd required) sometimes the host will interfere with the virtual one, in that case I suggest you get a xp running device (or windows 7, if it works with), I wouldn't go for anywhere above windows 7, even if it does work, you will get hidden functions.

Most of the software's are running better on windows xp, I bought a £10 second hand laptop and use it just for cars. If is an aftermarket copy, it is usually advised that firewall and any antivirus protection to be turned off, on the xp that I use there isn't and it never goes online...to avoid any conflicts from the software's updates.

Plus, when your software came out just a guess, it wasn't windows 10, so the publisher never thought at making it compatible with it. I personally downgraded to windows 8.1 from an automatic upgrade to windows 10....windows 10 is not ready for generally use (my opinion), I had problems with installing even the CD printer.... it is just so they can make it more difficult.

Hope it helps.

PM message me if you are really stuck.

My 'man in a garage' would probably do this for you - but don't want to give his number out in the ether.

 

He is based in NN9 area - about 25 minutes from MK on a good day.

That's actually a good idea with a vm, will try that out and see how it goes. Hopefully the one reader is still working correctly.

 

Thanks penguin will come to you if I can't get the above working.

Decided to get the car serviced at a Jeep dealership in Bedford which will also sort the lights out. Will keep the car another 6 months possibly as originally was thinking of selling the car.
