It will probably damage the pins in the diagnostic socket.

Save your £30 and have the car on a T4 when you need it.

Could be, but I cannot see any details on it. Can you post the make and model?

Thanks Rich & Harry

It looks as if it says 'Auto Reader', but can't see anything else, sorry.
The original price was £79.99, with 264 sold.

Point taken Rich, the only trouble buried away down hear on the South Coast it would cost me more than £30 in fuel to get anywhere near a T4 :shrug:
Sorry about wasted post :duh:

Don't readers only work with OBD2?

Modern ones yes, but I think Alf's car will be an OBD2 anyway, will it not?

Damaging the plug is a bit of a red herring, it will either work or not work.

I've done a search and I just cannot find a match for it.

Generally, they all work with the basics - reading codes, allowing codes to be cleared and some can read the live running data and display it.

is it this one Alf ...

if so also here ..

Looks a bit generic ?

Looks like this with different branding

They are all generic, that is the whole idea of OBD2, that you can use a generic scanner.

I have always had diagnostics available to me since the beginning of car diagnostics and the start was LED's flashing a series of codes, using homemade readers.

They can be invaluable, as part of a regular service routine. I wouldn't be without one.
