Maybe only if you spend hours chasing your tail based on false information and there's no fault at all?Is there anything more frustrating than an intermittent fault

I hope he's not gone to the one I had.He's probably been to a job with a dodgy ring final and a knackered RCD
Which make of scan I'm looking for a good car one.diagnostic scan
I wondered about that, but didn't want to get more involved as I was already late home for tea.I take it this car doesn't have lamp failure warning? Unlikely that both lamps would fail at the same time, so he's probably been driving a one eyed monster around for some time, until the second one failed.
Unless you want to spend many hundreds on a pro tool it's best to get something specific for the manufacturer, so this case it was VCDS running on a laptop for V.A.G group cars. I've got the Vauxhall one too, can't remember what that's called!Which make of scan I'm looking for a good car one.
I hear you. (I'm an organist btw). I get called in to play for carol services on instruments that barely get played the rest of the year, and real ingenuity can be called for to work around the faults. Tracker (mechanical) action instruments are normally ok, but there's a couple of electro-pneumatics that are long running adversaries of mine. Each year I write a polite essay in the tuning book, and the following year I read the witty responses to last years faults. One year I had to avoid about 6 notes for the whole evening, substituting with right foot and octave coupler.The action of the Compton organ at Southampton Guildhall generates a good selection of intermittents. This mammoth instrument contains about 7,000 electromagnets, over 50,000 sets of contacts and over 100 miles of 26SWG cotton-covered wiring joining it all up. All of the electrical gear, much of which is installed in a dedicated relay room, is original 1937 equipment, almost unique today. The main problem is that it doesn't get used enough, so all those contacts sit there from one month to the next, gathering dust and tarnish (they are mostly silver) and take a few cycles of use to get cleaned and back to reliable operation.
