Good news is I bought an FDS for peanuts (cost more for the Dartford tunnel toll going to collect it  ), bad news is it didn’t have the leads  - unless I feel like exploding an airbag  .
Initially it wouldn’t turn on even after waiting to see if the batteries would still charge, so I took a chance & pulled the battery pack in case it was dragging it down & it worked fine.
Don’t suppose I’ll be able to get a CPU lead to connect to the car, but if I do I’ll probably make up a battery pack out of NiMH tagged sub C batteries, unless anyone’s tried & knows they’re not suitable. I know there’s a lot of chat about whether or not you should use them on systems designed for NiCd but I think it’s a case of try it & see.
By the way there are further manual downloads on the site Highlander posted, I’ve posted here:

I'm just going to sit back and wait for you to 'modify' and 'improve' the FDS because as sure as night follows day you'll have to have a go!! Good luck with it Dave. As for the lead if we have members,as we do, with the leads could you not get the 'circuit' details that way?. The connector from a cheap scanner would fit the diagnostic port wouldn't it?.

About to pull it apart now for something to do
I would imagine the circuitry in the lead is beyond me. Probably wouldn't be able to get the correct plugs at the FDS end - but could probably make something out of wood

Now why does that not suprise me? 
Wood, plastic, copper tube, old lift cable..the world's your oyster!
If all else fails we could mount a raid on Scorpio Mike's shed or pay Gozz a visit."Gotta be sumfin ver guv"
