Hi
Can anyone recommend a diagnostic monitor for a '98 996, there seems to be shed loads on fleabay but I'm not sure if the protocol is OBDII.

Cheers

Durametric. Best by a country mile. Pro version does everything the factory PIWIS does including coding most control units.

I got my Durametric pro from : http://www.hickleys.com/diagnostics/durametric.php
Next best thing to a PST2 ( and I have one of those as well).
Don't Pi$$ about with hand held units BTW. Durametric has a BETA version which is also free once you buy the standard version. I cant recommend it enought.

The next best thing after a PST2 is a PIWIS and I have both of these

The PST2 was before the PIWIS, the PIWIS is better all round than the PST2 but I know what you mean Unfortunately much more expensive as well. For all 996's and earlier the PST2 will be sufficient. my only gripe about Durametric is it cant code and transfer data for module, immobiliser and key replacement.

1998 UK 996's use DME5.2.2 which isn't truly OBD2 compliant, so most of the handheld or PC-based scanners and code readers will not display the Porsche-specific fault codes.

For DIY, get a Durametric.
