Does anyone know what protocol/tool works with the Caterham OBD?

Bosch and Snap On don't seem to work.

If it's a k-series, you probably need the Rover Testbook. Standard OBD readers don't seem to work in the rover world.

I had no trouble reading my 2002 EU3 k-series with a cheap amazon OBD-Bluetooth dongle and the Torque android application smile

A friend lent me his £15 eBay OBD reader and it worked fine on my 2006 EU3 K series.

Just like this :

It's a 2002 R300 Superlight with a K-series 1.8 160 bhp.

However, the car was originally Caterham's own car and it looks like it's got an engine from possibly 2005 'ish in it as there is no distributor driven off the cam.

Same here, don't get a lot of parameters though.
