Diagnostics Reader

[Mark Ager]

Was thinking of getting a basic diagnostic reader to read fault codes, nothing to fancy just a basic model to read and maybe reset the codes. Ive seen loads on ebay but am warry of them. Anyone bought one and can advise one for me ive got an 02 cdi270

Just bought a Carsoft copy off fleabay.
Arrived yesterday. I can't load the software yet at it throws up a fault I am sure the seller will put me right.
But the main issue is I thought my old laptop had a RS232 (DB9) port.
So now I think I need another old laptop to connect to.
