obdII readers

[weagie]

Im having some running issues and was thinking about getting my own diagnostic reader to save on mechanic costs and was wondering what any of you are using. Im looking at a couple of Bluetooth devices that are quite cheap but require a mobile app called "torque". Its apparently a very good app and works on any car but im not wanting to waste money on naff gadgets. Has anyone tried these Bluetooth widgets and apps?

850's aren't fully OBD2 compliant so no stuff like that won't work,

Have a look at above thread,

Very handy cheers for the link. I assumed it was obd2 so I can spend my money on something more important now lol. So does this mean that I can now use the fault code list in my Haynes manual to decipher the flashes?

Exactly right.
