depends on the year. If it has obd2 , remove the ashtray, to the left of the ashtray there's a cover that slides to the right. it's in there.  :wink:

should be obd2 then. the little panel is just above the cigarette lighter. take the ashtray all the way out and the little panel should just slide over. the port is behind it.

What software would I need? I'm mainly interested in fault diagnosis, although real time engine information would be good.

Kr1s77,

What year is your car? Mine is a 'L' reg (or will be when I get it off my mate) so I'm not sure whether what connector I'll need.
