www.psi3.co.uk sell very good readers, and you can do ECU resets etc... their new website isnt fully working yet though.

I was going to trial one for them on the S2000 but not arranged it yet. They work a treat on the scoob.

You can get the code yourself but its a bit fiddly and you need to be good at morse code

Cheers mate.. thats ideal. Fiddly I can deal with. I'll dig around the american part of the site. I'm going to look for one of those in the UK rather than on ebay. I'm too impatient to wait for a delivery from Hong Kong

I'm surprised more people don't have them though

Excuse my ignorance but am I supposed to attach a wire to the paperclip then earth that somewhere? The the CEL light blinks the code.

How do you translate the code?

My old '90 CRX had an LED on the ECU which made this all easy.. is this progress?
