That's it. You won't find any cheap diag tools that'll even fit it though
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

regardless of price wat type of diag tool would i need???. or is there an adapter that can convert that socket to a more cheaper diag socket ???

You would need the £200 Lexia pc interface with illegal Peugeot Planet software and the 30-pin adapter

I'm not about to go spreading illegal software downloads via the forum. I THINK you can buy it legitimately from the dealers for about a grand.
You also need the Lexia interface (with 30-pin adapter if your diag socket looks like the above). Nothing else will work.
