Hello, I am brand new to the community. I just recently purchased a '99 ML320. So far she runs like a champ. I was just curisous what brand(s) of diagnostic and scanning equipment would be a good reasonably purchased piece of equipment for an average DIY'r. I don't want to spend too much $$$ but I am willing to shell out a little money now in lieu of giving it to the dealer to analyze the first time the service engine light pops on.

Like most of you guys out there I am capable of fixing whatever is broken...the hard part is just figuring out what the heck needs replaced.

Any and all input is welcome and if you know of a particular site that you would recommend that sells this stuff throw that in as well.

Ahh....almost forgot. Where is a good place to purchase an oil extractor for doing my own oil changes?

Thanks in Advance!~

John
