For what car/engine? For non 2.2/2.6/3.2 Omegas, it is the real Tech2, around £4k.  For same car, for engine only, a paperclip, 5p

your car is not obdii compliant, so no cheap handheld scanners.  That said, generic ones can only do engine, and a paperclip can read the codes...

Put it in the right holes then ;D

If you are using it a lot, consider buying an OBD plug, and shorting out said pins, then you just need to plug in your plug, and watch light on dash.
