was it a snap on one or one of them ones of ebay?
what diagnostic socket does your car have? OBD1 or the 32 way brown plug?

it was a snap on one and it is the 32 way plug

there is a way to read the codes without any code reader with that plug, ill have a look in the book at work, you can buy a code reader for about £20 from halfrauds but it aint worth it really

oh and by the way, the snap on scanner is utter shite, i dont think ive seen it work on one car yet
