    Does anyone know of any shop in Dublin (or Galway) selling OBD II code readers? Cheap & simple (read & clear) functionality would be enough. Looking to get my hands on one before the weekend. Thanks!

    I bought a bluetooth one today and downloaded the torque application. Total cost €34.55. It would have been cheaper if I had bought on ebay but I wanted it quicker.

    I haven't used it yet but reviews seem positive if you just want the basics.

    i own an elm327 myself, running it off the free program easyobd2 and i find it great for pricking around, clear and store faults, live readings from a a good few different sensors and you can log test drives etc. got the whole set up for under 50 blips and work it off my laptop, doesn't get much use though thankfully.

    just be wary of buying the elm327 interfaces from ebay as seemingly there is a lot of chinese knock offs floating around that simply dont work.
