  Hi, I've just bought a 2006 Mondeo TDCi 130 and I'm interested to know which is the best Engine Diagnostic Reader to buy ?  I asked an eBay seller about the F-Super but s/he said that it wouldn't clear the service required indicator.  That is obviously a key facility so can anyone tell me which is the best EDR to buy for my car ?

• Audi A4 Avant - Falken Tyres 10 Mar 2011 (Forum)
    I've experimented with just about everything out of the 'usual' brands, but I have to say that thes Falken 912's I have just had fitted are superb. Noise and Handling in the dry are as good as any Continental or Goodyear I have seen and much better than Dunlops or Avons.  The wet handling is at least a high average, and they wer about £30 each cheaper than some other more well known brands.
