Hi,

lexia's sposed to be good,
ive not bought one yet, ithink there abit pricey, as id just use one just for reading basic fault codes, bit of a waste,

ive heard the U380 Code readers do the job for basic code reading,

Yes, lexia 3 works on my 2002 RHZ.

However you will need an old laptop with Windows Xp or Lexia 3 on a vitual machine on Vista or 7

Lexia 3 / PP2000 is definitely the way to go diagnostics / config wise - it's what the dealers have, (or a clone thereof).

It seems it will work with any version of XP, (and probably older stuff too), but not sure about newer OS's.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

The newest Peugeot and Citroen program called DiagBox, runs on vista and 7 but i really recomend using XP.
