    Diagnostic for the club?

    Just a quick question regarding a diagnostic scanner for the club.
    I think I saw it in one of the threads on here and think it was called a GT1 which X service have.
    Are they very expensive and would it be possible for us to buy one for club members usage?
    I know the Bosch Diagnostic’s are hand held devices but I’m not sure if it something that we as a club should look into investing in…seeing as how we are all driving the one make of car, I think it would be very advantageous for us to own one.
    Is this a good idea or am I being ridiculous??????

    I'm just thinking of the benefits!!

    Quick calculations, device costs 10,000 Dhs divided between 86 active members = 116.27 Dhs each!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Youre talking perfect sense BB.
    I totally support the idea and I'm up for it. But, are you sure it's for 10K AED or $ ?

    If somone can please confirm the price for GT1 diagnostic platform ?

      Makes complete sense Betty,
      If that's all it costs for the tool
      Count me in as well.

        The figure mentioned was purely hypothetical, I’ve absolutely no idea how much they cost…just used a nice round figure.
        I think it’s a great idea, just wanted to see the general opinions of everyone.
        Say it worked out at 100 Dhs per member, It is inevitable that your car is going to go on one of these tools at some point and 100 Dhs wouldn’t even allow you “garage parking time” never mind a Diagnostic check up!!!!!!!!

            Then the price per member is 423 Dhs, going on the forum stats that there are 86 active members, plus in sure one of our seniors will know a man that knows a man that knows a supplier:P

              Exactly my thoughts Ahmed.
              A Snap-On SOLUS PRO scanner costs 16,000AED alone.

              A GT-1 is around the 10,000$ area.

                    Ive just read this thread now, thanks to Rifo for the pricing, so divide 80,000 Dhs by the members who will buy and lets see how many members can we get :P

                      i can make my dad pay for it... i have a source in canada who is selling it for a good price, but i was told that there are some replica GT1s in the market. i will be sending my bro to check it out, but the problem i can't make sure that it's authentic :S

                        it's a really good idea but i don't think it's feasible.. you'll be lucky to find 15-20 members willing to share the cost :)

                          We have already discussed this many times before....We're landing on Bruno's contact in Canada to hook us up and then it'd be available to all for their use and abuse and token prices...
