U380 Obdii Diagnostic Code Auto Car Scanner on 2040-parts.com
Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, US
Here is a nice working entry level code scanner so you can check your own "check engine" light and clear any codes you might have and also check the readiness of your emission monitors which is a real pain here in Mass. I no longer use this one as I bought a much more expensive "Live Data" scanner. A great tool if you are looking to buy a used car as it saved me a ton last winter in Florida when I checked out a nice Saturn and was all ready to buy it until I checked it out with this scanner and found it was throwing 4 transmission codes. No way I was getting into that mess and the check engine light wasn't on as the seller probably cleared the codes and shut the check engine light off.

Vauxhall Insignia facelift revealed for 2014
Wed, 12 Jun 2013The Vauxhall Insignia gets a facelift for 2014 with new engines and lower prices The Vauxhall Insignia is a more than decent car – and a big improvement on the Vectra that went before – but it’s now almost five years old so it’s time for a bit of a facelift. Vauxhall has revealed the updated Insignia for 2014 that gets a decent raft of changes, both cosmetically and under the skin, to make it better to live with and more economical. Sensibly, Vauxhall has cut the bewildering range of Insignia trim levels from 14 to eight (do they need even that many?), with Design Trim at the bottom and Elite trim at the top, and the new Insignia Design starting at £16,279 – £3500 less than the old Insignia ES.
Nissan creates a self-cleaning Note – and this one’s for real. (video)
Thu, 24 Apr 2014The Nissan Note that cleans itself The Sunday chore of cleaning the car is beloved (and loathed, in equal measure) by those who’d rather do it themselves than pay a man with a bucket, a sponge and a chamois to oblige. But regular car washing – for anyone – could be a thing of the past thanks to a new nano-paint technology. The newly developed super-hydrophobic and oleophobic paint manages to repel water and oil, which means stuff like everyday dirt, mud and rain don’t have the chance to cling to the car’s paintwork.
Consumer Reports slams new Honda Civic
Tue, 02 Aug 2011Honda Motor Co., still struggling with supply shortages of the redesigned 2012 Civic after the March earthquake in Japan, took a slap in the face today when Consumer Reports rated the new Civic "too low to be recommended." The 2012 Honda Civic dropped 17 points, from a very-good score of 78 to a mediocre 61, in the latest Consumer Reports road test of small cars. Previous Honda Civic models have often been Consumer Reports' highest rated small sedans, as well as Top Picks in five of the past 10 years. But the redesigned model was slammed for the cheapness of its interior, poor ride quality, long stopping distances and loud interior noise.
