[whippit]

had a bit of fun with this myself.
Took the car (2.2 pettrol auto) to my local mech on saturday and he could not get any of his code readers to talk to it (including the snap-on verso which is the dogs danglies).
He was convinced he must have had a fault with his lead or something.
Anyhow took it back in today and his lad was working who seemed much more clued up, apparently its something to do with the switched and permanent live to the socket and you have to connect first then turn the ignition on, the other guy had just been connecting with the ignition already on.
Upshot..all connected fine, codes read and reset and no naggy light on the dash
