I need a device that can read and reset engine trouble codes on a 2000 Peugeot 406 2.0 HDi
Live data preferable, but not essential at this stage.
Any suggestions? I don't have a clue!

A 14ld pound sledge is the best......give it a good tap but mind the body work ...
In all seriousness, it should be OBDII compliant around that age.....

Is there a preferable OBDII reader then? ....(not for my Omega ;))

The ELM (327?) devices are ok...various bits of software for them

Hmm... not a standard 16 pin ODBII socket on this pug!
I'd have thought a newish commonrail engine would have had one. bah!

her Smart put its EML on the other day for a few iles. Next time out all was OK, it'd be nice to know why it was on. ;)

Not sure they are. 2003 was the legal date for diesels, I think many companies changed around that date.
Rover, the bastards, have fitted an OBDII compliant ECU in my car, but disabled the OBDII protocol because it was sold before the 2001 date. Needs Testbook to re-enable it.

Yeh but, it isn't....its a 10+ year old design.

Fair point... still newer than the XUD lump though!! :D
All I wanna do is read a blasted fault code ;D

No sign of swarf in the fuel filter by any chance is there.......

No, I replaced the fuel filter on Sunday (5 min job) and had a good look in there. Couple of particles of something but no swarf.
What does this indicate - failure of the low pressure pump?

They suffer from low and high pressure pump failure.....and if the low presure one goes first it often takes the high pressure one with it. This means a full clean out required, new pumps and new injectors....hence a lot around that age are off to the knackers yard....
You then get error codes related to low fuel pressure etc
And if you use them loaded regularly or tow wth them they have a habit of over heating.
