Right chaps. I'm in the market for an OBD2 scanner and I want to know what you chaps have.
As well as the usual code reading I want one that also interfaces/links to a PC.
Any suggestions?

But I want a device I can use on the hoof standalone as well as being able to interface to a PC for logging.
USB/serial/Bluetooth interfaces are out.
The ability to read/reset ABS/Airbag statuses would be nice too.

What year is it John? Diesels didn't have to be ODB2 compliant until 2004 and before that they generally aren't.

No chance it'll be OBD2. It's probably Rover MEMS and you need a Testbook T1/T2/T3/T4 for them.

Around £220 for Nanocom and Hawkeye you buy the box and then buy additional modules. I think you get one free
