I was looking at these aswell, but to be honest it seemed a bit cheap so i didnt bother, because iv'e bought cheap stuff before and always turns out to be crap.

Does anyone else have one of them, would they reccomend it?

And also can this turn of the "Service" Ligt that flashes when i start my car.?

im not that botherd about service light as u can reset by flowing the instructions in the oweners book i just want t check the fault codes.
and save having to pay for some one to check them. im going to get it i think unless some one recomends some thing else :smiley:
