Does anyone know where I can buy a device to connect to the main ECU for reading the codes? I don't want to buy from eg e-bay or amazon - just local shop purchase.

argos will probably be the cheapest from a shop.

cheapy ones aren't that wonderful and take what it says as a bit of a guide in the right direction rather than gospel
