I am looking for a coder reader and or stats software for my 95 855 T-5R.

The OBD socket is under the coin holder in the cabin, I think the "motortronics 4.3" was mentioned somewhere. All the readers I see advertised on ebay are for 96 onwards which is probably because thats when OBD-II become a standard.

Reading codes is my first aim but getting things like car statistical and performance data would be very useful say via a reader into my laptop or IPAQ PDA ?

Can anyone point me towards suitable solutions.??

Andrew.
