| Re: obd 11 readers Argos selling OBD machines?? We (Halfords) sell a Gunson OBD reader for about £140 - I would be weary of anything that claims to read OBD fault codes for £40.

I'm still not convinced, but I guess this does do what it says on the tin - but ofc it only provides you with the code. The phrase "Generic fault code definition table provided" worries me as well, I don't think that it'd have the more, er, "exotic" codes... and ofc something like VAG-COM lets you reset various bits of data. ...but then the RAC one is only £40... Oh well. Hope that made sense to someone!?!
