only asking as a freind has the opcom set up on his laptop and it refuses to work on my motor , and i thought this might be another option

Not sure but looking at your profile your car is a 1999 petrol, states on the info: Compatible with all petrol engine cars manufactured since 2001 and all diesel engine cars manufactured since 2004. I'd be interested to know if it works but at that price wouldn't want to test it. Hopefully someone else will know

There is another one listed costing £79.99 which has practically the same description, what would be the difference with that one? :oops:

if you just want the codes, then i use this,

it's incase i need to reset the abs light when i fit the new sensor tomorrow ... i'm kind of hoping it'll reset itself , but knowing my luck , it'll end up costing more money .. :lol:

that one will reset the ecu, and clear all codes, i have one here if you want to try it, if you get stuck

one thing with argos you can always get your money back if its no good.

Your ABS light should reset itself after a few turns of the ignition, not sure exactly but it should go out in a day or 2.

drove fifty yards up the road and it went out :mrgreen:

Nice one!! thats what I figured after doing mine about a year ago, was also worrying about getting it reset and soon after a few starts it was out
