I'd be more worried about getting nabbed by customs.

This guys sells mileage correction, diagnostics and various other tools.. I've bought quite a few things from him and he might be able to sort you out with a bulk discount

I think you'll be pretty safe (seems to be listed by the big Chinese websites) - pay by western union if you can!!!

China Auto Maintenance, Diagnostic Tools, Key Programmer Manufacturer - Shenzhen Ufodiag Electrics Co., Ltd.

made in china is a well respected website - if they were crooks then they'd be booted off straight away, there is always a risk with China but the savings can be huge.

I've been buying from China for over 10 years now - if i hadn't then our company would cease to exist.

They work for like 80-100 euros a month

Not sure how big they are but there is shipping as well - tbh i'd shop about over here first if the savings are not that good.0

***sorry dod not know it included shipping***

does not seem to be worth it as teh savings are not that great

I may be missing something, but, is mileage 'correction' illegal? Or is it just illegal if used to obtain a financial gain?

Bit of free advice here

China (mainland) tends to be cheaper than Taiwan.

Its just took me 10 minutes and i have a whole list of companies flogging these.

Just had a look at this - i can get the full kit with all the leads for 500 quid.
There are cheaper versions out there and they are the same ones that are on fleabay for 11-1200 quid each

so £750 each is a bit expensive to be honest.

If i dug a bit deeper i'm sure i could get them cheaper still
