I wanna do some diagnostics on my car and was searching on eBay for some equipment to use and found this:-
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300...1438.l2649
Is it worth buying or will it be a waste of money?
Thanks for any answers.

I use the ELM 327 lead but with genuine Palmer Performance Engineering software.
The lead works fine and I like the software that came with it.
Give me a few minutes and I'll try to find a link for where I got it from. Think it was cheaper than that.
Edit. This is the place I bought mine from. Advanced Diagnostic Took 3 days to arrive.

Try & borrow one from a friend etc & see if it works.
Ive used my OBD code reader on a year 2000 Pug 306 HDI before & it read / cleared the engine fault codes.
