hi there

it's the 12v engine you have?

you would need the 'star' reader.....

or the one from g&s online which is much better, but you need to build it yourself.

Have you tried the three pin plug on the offside wing as part of the wiring loom its a small red one I never discovered what it did !!!!! . Although as already stated the star reader is the way to go .

When I looked at the wires on that plug on my 2.3 it appeared to be the right colour wires for OBD - but I never tried connecting to it ( well not much ;) )

I had wondered if that little socket might be for the ABS,I reckon there's another similar one near the rad,cruise control ??

Yes I wondered as well but never got round to testing what output there was ... I never had my hands on the suitable adapter.

I thought the front one might be for a remote starter to plug in ?
Don't really know just guessing !!!!.. there does not appear to be any literature relating to them.
