Home diagnostic equipment

[junglie]

Good evening,

I have a few different cars (Mercedes, BMW and Lexus) ranging from 2003 - 2012.

Keen to have a diagnostic machine I can plug into them when needed to determine faults that I can then, hopefully, have a stab at sorting myself.

There are loads of different set ups but after any information for those that have already bought one and can comment.

Thanks.
