What model car is it for? I am pretty sure i have seen one of these made by Draper at my local Maccess store (trade only) and if i remember rightly they would probably retail at about £60.00.It may be worth asking your local car accessory shop if he can get you one. If he is unable to i will certainly have a look for you myself.

Been doing a bit of research and have found that my car had just missed out on the new OBDII connection and this 38 pin is a bit of a nightmare. However I did find this.

but there's not a lot of info to go with it and was wondering in anyone has any more knowledge on it or even tried it.

Yes i have one of these myself and it is made by UIF TECH www.uiftech.com it's supplied with a handbook with a list of codes relating to the engine and transmission. You can read the code then you must repair the fault before you can clear the lights on your instrument panel.It will not fit your car though. I am still pretty sure i saw a one for your car made by Draper and will check up today.

I have also been searching for a reasonably priced Fault Code reader for the 38-pin socket but without success. There are plenty of the OBD2 16-pin versions around (for about £20) and I had hoped that I could make an adapter lead to handle the plug conversion. However I believe that the signal interface on the 38-pin is MB specific and there is no direct translation to the 16-pin interface (ie it is not strictly an OBD2 protocol). If anyone has further information on this, I would be glad to hear about it.

Well - I got a draper 38 pin code 'resetter' - ripped it apart, and connected it up to a OBDII scanner - I can read injector times etc etc and major fault codes...
you need to connect +, -, and the K line iirc. My brother currently has the unit and laptop - hes in guildford... so I cant show you at the moment.
Try a search for wiring diagram and you can find the pin numbers you need (its about number 8 or so - RHS near the 'top' )

just got back from Maccess and the item that i saw was a service light resetter not a fault code reader as i had at first thought (sorry).They are quite expensive aswell for such a tool.Good luck in finding what you require

Hi norman, i bought the coder reader.. and it is working very well. The problem is i have to use classic notebook ( my friend's notebook) .. which has printer port ( 9 pin at back of notebook).
Latest notebook does not has printer port, all of them use usb port. Then i bought serial cable converter inorder to use my notebook but it made me disspointed, it says communication cable error. Maybe any body know how to solve it.
