Beware some scanners will not talk to earlier than 2001 models the scanner I purchased will only clear fault codes and not read them.  So just check before hand.  HTH.

cheapo tech2 from egay.  usb ones don't work to well, nor do usb to serial adapters, so have a laptop with a real serial port, and get serial version for around £20

Be aware, the software sucks though, flakey, and half in Hungarian.  Marks DTM did a few mods to it to make it mostly english
