I got myself a MaxiScan MS309 off Amazon for about 11 or 12 quid. Has worked on everything I have tried so far :thumbs:

Did you just download a generic phone ap to use with it?

"Torque" is the app to get for Android - note that iOS doesn't connect to a Bluetooth adaptor, you need a wifi OBD adaptor for them.

Bought a cheap one for my golf and it helped me sort a number of issues out.

Right so either I get one of those or a couple more quid for a bluetooth one and use a phone ap. Would be good but then more to go wrong/not work :-/

Iv got a similar one, worked fine on my type r

Yeah should get most of what will come up on both of those.

Ok cheers
ideally need one that works on my honda civic and mrs' s grande punto as that thing always has the eml on :lol:

I've got the model before it and its sound

Doesn't do every code on every car but good enough for most EML / sensor related stuff.

I use a £8 one off ebay with a Nexus 7 tablet. Works brilliant but you need to get the hacked version of the OBD2 program which is easily found

Do lots of research! None of the cheap ones will work on every car so just make sure it at least works on your existing car :D

I've bought a few of these in the past and one of the best I found was made by UFITech ( http://www.uiftech.com/ )..

Also remember most cheap ones will only support one component (i.e. ECU, Transmission, SRS etc.).. And generally they wont let you interact much more than resetting codes..

...Oh and another slight down point, quite a few modern cars wont let certain codes be cleared without the proper dealer-tool (although some high end scanners can still do it).

If you've got a spare £1.5-2k floating about get your self a Snap-on SOLUS Ultra and as many extra keys as you can :D

Anyone have any experiance of these? Any good?

Thought it might be a handy thing to have rather then having to trek to a garage when ever one is needed

like this one for example
