Default Anyone with Durametric in Brisbane Australia

Hi guys
I want to ask if anyone in Brisbane, Australia would be willing to come and clear a code on my 2003 CTT? I have the 'steering faulty' error but believe the battery is responsible for this.
I'm happy to pay for someone's time.
Alternatively if there is a Durametric for sale in Australia new or used I'd be very interested.
PM or reply to thread would be great.
Thanks

I think you'll do better looking for someone with a Durametic Professional - the standard Durametric is limited to 3 VIN# - so using it to clear a code on your car just cost the Durametric owner 1/3rd of the value of the unit. The other tool that will work is the iCarScan X431, and it has no VIN# limitation (you can work on as many cars as you want to..) Might be worth looking into buying one - they're cheaper than a Durametric and IMHO - better (I own both).

BTW - welcome to the forum!

Thanks deilenberger, yes thats what I was alluding to, someone with the professional model as I wouldnt want someone to use a standard just for me.
As for icarscan they aren't available in Austrlia so I'd be in for a looooong wait for it.
Cheers

The iCarScan can be shipped directly from Hong Kong, China. Australia doesn't do Chinese imports?

The chinese government are being arseholes to Australia so we are trying not to buy chinese crap - even if its not crap, its crap.

Yep I'm aware they come from China but the weeks of waiting for one makes it a non option for me. Cheers

The whole reason someone comes on the forum is to AVOID the $tealership.
