Hi folks,

Since coming back from holiday my 2003 1.8iS hasn't been running properly and I'd like to find out of I can do anything to read the fault codes without the use of an OBDII reader.

Any ideas..?

I think the old led method still works but you can buy an OBDII code reader from eBay for about £30.
