Jeez....at that price, I would buy one online from the US and have it shipped. It would still be less than what you're talking. Of course you could get a fancier one, but check this one out. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=94169 Even with shipping to the UK, you come out ahead and be able to at least read your codes from now on. If they won't ship, and you wanna pay me, I'll buy it and send it to you! I have one of their stores about 5 minutes away. Oh yeah....then you can charge other people to read theirs!

Get one in your own country for about as much as the dealer wants to read yours.

The OBD-II port is right under your dash near the steering column.

Once you get the code, go to this link to see what it means:
