OBD 2 recommendations

[EddieM]

I know this has been done before, but the threads are old and possibly out of date. To that end can anyone recommend a reasonable OBD 2 reader, a pretty basic one will suffice. Car is a 2005 Jag if that is significant. I can get detailed code info from ETIS if need be. Titter.

Any of these cheapie ones are okay for just scanning and clearing general OBDII faults.

Except for when they don't work and do bugger all when you scan.

Like the one I just got - the MS309 taken from your link, the seller is no longer registered with Ebay too.
So that's a tenner wasted

Randomly scanning through the argos book, I saw it. Gets good reviews, but I couldn't comment personally.

Have to move up a notch then. Go to £10.79 unless you want to make an offer.

I wouldn't know. But if you stop and think about it, it is quite incredible the amount of stuff you can get for a piffling amount of cash.

Trouble is, it all comes from 'the enemy'!

 

[mattylad]

Actually I paid 10.99.
I'm hoping I can claw back the cost of this dud.
Ill check it on another car first.

If you paid by PayPal, should be no problem.
