That's it. You won't find any cheap diag tools that'll even fit it though

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.
