Wouldn't bother with pc and port type software off ebay, be cheap yes, but doubt it'll work right.

If you don't want to pay too much for a simple code reader that'll read engine codes, and transmission codes, try searching for a Sealey VS8700 reader from somewhere you know won't be a cheap chinese copy (autoshops may have them) !!.  If you shop around, maybe able to get one for around £50-£60.

Hope that helps ?.
