OBD2 scanner tool

[swansea v6]

Any ideas where the best place to pick up an OBD2 scanner tool ( for an auto FTO) would be? I am just after a fault reader, which would also pick up any gearbox issues. Have looked online and all I did was confuse myself!!

I got a blutooth one from ebay which works with my phone. it was only £14 and thr app was free. works very well

I bought a simple Sealy one, think it cost about £50 from my local motorfactors. Much cheaper online, but I needed one ASAP.

Bluetooth ones are an option, although Ive heard bad things about the cheap ebay ones.

Just make sure that your car is OBDII compliant, I've had a few older cars that although they have the OBD socket do not work with generic readers.

Isn't the FTO a bit before OBD2 regs came in? I'd check it does actually use OBD2 and not some other code reading protocol first.
