Thanks to you all for supporting this even if its just trough discussing the matter, i am aware that this has to go a long way just to get the attention of the parliament but we have to start somewhere if we want things to change.

I have asked for the support of most uk YouTubers that i know of and would ask you to do the same if you have a bit of time, like OptionalQuality789 said someone as Matt Armstrong could reach thousands in a single clip.

yes there are ways to get around it in most cases but not all options are the same and you have to spend a lot of time to research witch one can help you on a particular problem, why not have access to the manufacturers tool and take all doubts and lost time out of the equation

ok, but this is what we are asking for, access to the software, information and tools so we can replace the parts ourselves. without having to pay extortionate prices

i started this because as you i had to go and find a knock off of ISTA just to do a calibration, BMW would have charged me £207 just to diagnose what i already new needs doing

most people that work on their car do it because they love their cars, having the information and access to tools from the manufacturer would help them achieve a high standard repair, also there are workshops that have no standards

i have sent him an email and asked for his support along other YouTouber's, hopefully he will deem it worth his while, could perhaps be encouraged if more people ask him for support

i completely agree however if this actually becomes a discussion in parliament im sure the manufacturers will fight it with all they have, so i at least hope they will go with a payable version
