Re: ElanScan Interface

[FrancisW]

Following my post on Engine topics about engine surging, whilst I have been busy with sourcing parts for my own car, my friend who owns the ex John Miles Lotus Elan M100 in Spain and who I am trying to help, did manage to download an ElanScan program from somewhere else I don't know where. However the ALDL cable which was for sale on ebay has gone, so we are back to trying to find one ; Any ideas?

I have been searching the internet and cannot find an ALDL cable for the Elan Scan; to connect from car plug to laptop/except for some very expensive ones in the USA. I did see some where that someone here makes these, who is this is this there's only on f in Geof Smith
Please can someone let me know.
thank you

FrancisW, dapinky linked you to the very latest EScan update, which is backward-compatible and has been adapted to work successfully with the later versions of win10 and all versions of win11.
This is the only version that you ought to be using imo.
Regarding the EScan lead, there must be something around, surely?

how urgently do you need a lead ?

It is out of my control, I told my friend I was waiting to find out more and he found an ElanScan somewhere else. I will try to communicate your comments to him, It is difficult to coordinate with him he sometimes does not answer the telephone for many days. I am just trying to help him because he has no idea about cars despite being an big enthusiast. Regarding the lead I continue to search on the internet, usually there are a few on Ebay but they are overpriced. and in the USA. There are currently three, but whether they are the right ones or not I have no idea, see this:- (I did send my friend the link.

What exactly are the words I should use to search for this?

Thank you
