Paperclip test ??
« on: 21 February 2007, 20:56:39 »
went to my car this morning, it started a little longer than normal, went up the road and the engine managment light was on, got round the corner it went off, so my question is how do you perform a paperclip test ? will this fault be logged into system to read it back out ?

And my mission stops there.....

"Please note: After 1999 the chipsets were altered so it was no longer possible to flash the codes out this way."

Looks like it's back to ebay for a cheapo tech 2, guess this will do the job for my 2001 2.2 facelift

Exactly for the cost they are, it will be useful to have just to do a weekly check rather than annoy you!
