it's an adaptor that's only needed for older models that don't have the usual diagnostic connector near the stering wheel.

I've never needed mine.

Sorry, I haven't a clue. :oops:

(I expected to find out with my bro's old 406 1.9 TD, only to discover it had the 'normal' diagnostic socket).

Presumably it's so you can connect Peugeot Planet to the battery and use it to check the voltage :?

It is a cable to plug into an automatic gearbox to communicate with the ecu.
