Thanks for info. Yes I did have ignition on, but still no joy. I'm wondering what other fault I might have (ECU ?).

Plug in the connector when the car is not running then switch the ignition onto position 1.

the car will not communicate over odb2 until the car is at least in ignition position 1.

It's better when the car is running.

all Rover 75 petrol models will have some ODB2 settings available. Only post 2002 cars have all the values available.

What would you use to connect a Year 2000 Rover 75 2L V6 petrol for a full diagnostic check if not all settings work on a OBD 2 scanning tool? I thought of buying the TOAD PC software and a USB to OBD cable but don't want to invest if it won't work

I have a standalone OBD tool and it scanned OK with no faults

Steve - Any thoughts on this fleabay item?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Di...item2a2ae88b8a

Ebay item is fine, however you need THIS to go with it **

** Alternately, you could go along to the charity meet on Sunday get to meet some other 75 owners

oh I see LOL

The car works fine so I think I'll stop worrying about all this diagnostics. No need to spend 3 grand for a 450 quid car

Hi mate

Mine does not work either! 52 plate 1.8 auto. Works on T4 fine as both Brian and Gary will testify however no joy on my laptop OBD2, my mechanics handheld codereader or the local garages. Guess for some reason we are unlucky mate. For some reason it just does not work! Annoying to say the least.

I was told by an AA mechanic that rover wire there obdii plugs different, they put the earth on a different pin to normal, so normal scan tools won't work but t4 and toaf will.

Haven't really looked into it but seems to make sense to me.

I have a 51 plate conny cdt (came off the line in December 2001) and it works with OBDII reader.
