Just to check if the RAC code reader works on the omega and if anyone has them as they are only £40 and all i need it for is to reset the check lights at most and check codes.

Thanks

I bought a maxscan u380 for £15 plus £6 delivery off ebay and use it to clear our recurrent EML light issues on our 2001 MV6 2.6.

Orange thing it is with a SCROLL and ENTER button only on it.

Clears fault codes and resets EML light.
 
Works a treat.

Just do a search for U380 on ebay mate and you will see them all.

Honestly, they are well worth £15 if all u need is read codes and reset eml.

These are OBDII readers so unlikely to work on pre-DBW cars and unlikely to talk to anything but the engine.

Yep agreed, but then if like me thats all he needs and he has a facelift Omega, they are a bargain in my opinion.

Oh, yes. Agreed. Just mentioned it in case those with older Omegas were tempted.

I can sell them a paperclip reader very cheaply.
