Most of them come from here http://www.obd-2.com/

They are cheapest if buying 15 at a time - but that means someone would have to organise

Cheers

Or the ELM320 one (www.elmelectronics.com) from http://www.gendandirect.co.uk/ .. pricey given the $ cost in the USA, but mine came next day after a telephone order and for £89 inc VAT and delivery I've found it essential in problem solving faults on the car.

There is a range of software available free on the web including DTC reading, instant andlogging of sensor values.
