Hi everyone,
Firstly, I've already spoken to a well known dealer in Sydney and Stabilus Aust themselves but even they can't advise if there are any auto tailgate repair specialists in Sydney who can help me remove my existing Stabilus struts and install two new OEM Stabilus struts - long story short is the dealer who sold me the car last year agreed to supply two new struts which I was going to install myself, but time and skill shortcomings are proving to be a challenge (particularly in relation to dismantling the cable system that locks into the tailgate motor unit). The auto tailgate unit in question is the Stabilus Powerise (see attached pic).
Secondly ... Diagbox ... yes I know there's been a lot written here and everywhere about how to set one up, but even accounting for my general ample skills in IT and general handyman and repair, I can't see the forest from the trees regarding Diagbox ... I would really appreciate any of your stalwarts here advising me on 3 things:
1) What old/new PC would work to carry Diagbox - I'm assuming any PC with a hard drive, could work?
2) What Windows OS works best, or is known to work
3) Most importantly ... where to buy the Diagbox - kit and software - I'm open to anything, but obviously one that is known to work.
I'm happy to jump online again to slowly learn more again on how to set it all up (eg making sure it's never connected online to the outside world), but for now any clear answers on my hardware and software question above would be very helpful ...
Thanks everyone ...
