I think the fault codes are all written on the boot lid aren't they?

Sorry.  Couldn't resist. ;D ;D

I suppose I should try and be helpful as well.  If it uses a generic (OBDII) diagnostic system and it's something you want to read I would recommend buying a cheap one.  I have a cable and free software here but it's so cheap the journey would be more expensive.  Then if the codes are manufacturer-specific you need to find a listing somewhere to interpret for MG.
