I know this has often been a topic of much discussion and the Tech2 is the daddy of all code/live data readers and pirate copies are taboo.

What I would be interested in is a reasonably priced legal reader that can provide the magority of basic functions for the omega along with the ability to read live engine running data ,hopefully to identify fueling/ignition problems .

Can anybody recommend or use such a device they have had past experiences with.  I am not looking for pirate/illegal/oriental copies.

It's not so easy for pre-DBW cars, unfortunately.

DBW cars are OBDII compatible so any generic code reader, ELM cable, etc. will give you decent access to the engine ECU.

I'm trying to think of something other than the Hungarian cheapo tech2 (which never did live data anyway, IIRC).

Torque Pro (Android) works quite well, but as Kevin says the car needs to be OBDII compliant

Pretty much what Kevin Wood says.  Opelscanner comes in around £300 for base product.
