- piltdownman 2y agoTBF digital access and lookup is a far better solution for troubleshooting as opposed to gaining a holistic understanding of the car as an entity. It's more StackOverflow, less 'Inside Macintosh'. More to the point, as cars evolve to digital control and signalling systems with associated firmware, the problems are increasingly diagnosed via the ODB or CAN-BUS and rectified at e.g. and Engine Management System level rather than at a mechanical level. This necessitates up-to-the minute sources of truth detailing the various firmware versions, caveats and advisories - much more suited to a digital medium and distribution channel.
