It's not ODBII/EOBD, so you won't find a low cost generic code reader I'm afraid.

There are some Vauxhall specific devices, with varying levels of capability.  You might be able to pick up a 2nd hand dealer level Tech2 at not stupid money now, which is probably the only device that can do everything.
