that's the one i got, quickly despatched and sorted many of my cars and friends cars. Doesn't work on cars below the 2001 reg though although it does say on the site. Won't work on my 99 reg 106 gti for some reason but might work on others :thumbs:

I have an opcom myself, much better than the above, and can do so much more aswell...

Won't work on the pre-facelift B's though with the old ALDL style interface, only works with newer ODBII/CAN systems

Nice one Mate,Might make a purchase.

Thanks

I think it is, done my friends TT my old mg zr.

Yep gives you the fault code and description i.e camshaft sensor etc...

And you can clear them once you have replaced the sensor.

I've deff got my moneys worth just, tried it on 09 plate cars and also works.

Yeah really easy to use, plug in and away you go.

Does it clearly states what's wrong with the vehicle (I.E Code P1076) Is it accurate?
Easy to use Etc?Can you do any test with it Etc?

i have one like the 2nd one, paid £85. Worth the money for when the eml does come on. Saves paying garages around £40 each time!
