Hi,
I want to get a good cardiagnostic tool which will reset multiple car service lights/messages, and perform ABS bleed function.
could you please let me know which ones are good for up to £500 I am in England and one car it needs to work with is my wife's Jeep Renegade.
Well I find that the Innova scantools are pretty good
Thanks, I will take a look.
I would recommend the Autel MX808 (see link below) and here in the US it is $400 from an authorized Autel dealer, but that is a North American model. I have no idea the equivalent there in the UK. I would contact Autel and find out. If you do get a pricey tool, make sure you get through an authorized dealer. With Autel they do not sell direct and instead rely on authorized Autel dealers (Amazon is not an authorized Autel dealer btw).

Thanks for the info, I have been looking at the MX808 on amazon but all the sellers seemed to be in China, which made me doubt if the products were kosher, also a few gramatical and spelling mistakes raised few alarm bells. I will contact Autel directly to find a dealer near me. I didn't want to pay out good money for a copy.
@Moosey I always warn people when it comes to buying an expensive scan tool to only buy from an authorized dealer (assuming the company does not sell direct and Autel does NOT sell direct).
If you buy from an UNauthorized dealer you will NOT receive technical support/repair/warranty/software updates by Autel for that region. So if a battery fails and needs replacing you are on your own and/or you have to send the unit to another region in the world and sometimes on your dime - which will be a hassle. Also you risk getting a faulty unit from an unauthorized dealer - it might work a few months but then fail and then you are stuck after having spent hard earned money on a nice scan tool. And in the future if you need software update, you may not be able to get it on an “unauthorized” unit. Worst case - the unit is a counterfeit and never works at all! I’ve heard those stories. BTW, Amazon is NOT an authorized Autel dealer.
Thank you very much for the advice and information @DayWalker. You have reassured me and saved me from a hole hale of the proverbial.
