OK.....but if something does show up, the nearest place to me that can plug it in is the theives that shafted me last time, if I can get the error code then take it to someone nearerer....

I bought one for £9.20 + £12 postage off Ebay. Had a Renault in the workshop the other day with the engine light on. £3000 snap On scanner with Renault specific software couldn't recognise fault code or reset light, cheapo scanner read code and reset easily.
