Fault reader for 2002 Vauxhall Movano

[73spicegirl]

Can anyone recommend a suitable fault reader for a 2002 Vauxhall Movano? I was just going to try one of the cheapish OBD2 ones on Amazon but having done a bit more research, I have read that diesel vans were not OBD2 compliant until 2004, although I'm not entirely sure what this means - there is definitely a port under the dash.
Unfortunately our campervan has an intermittent starting problem - it turns over no problem but struggles to fire up. We have always been able to get it started eventually but the problem is becoming more frequent and it is taking longer to start. Our garage hasn't been able to find any fault using diagnostics and there are no fault lights showing. The reader could be a bit of a long shot but at least we could test it over a period of time.
Otherwise the van runs fine and we'll be gutted if we can't sort the problem as we can't afford a new one! Unfortunately we are pretty useless when it comes to mechanics so any advice would be much appreciated

The Amazon ones should be fine, can't see there'd be different rules for the engine type. It'd just make diagnosis for the manufacturer more difficult unnecessarily when someone was to bring their car in

Thanks p4cks - I was hoping that might be the case. I will give it a go!

If the garage found no codes and there's no money light on then I can't see how a cheap generic reader will tell you anything useful.

Non starting deisels are usually, injectors, fuel pump, glow plugs.

Non-starting diesels in cold weather is invariably either not turning over fast enough due to battery/alternator issues or glow plugs being goosed/inefficient.

Neither of these are likely to show up on a vehicle of that age as EML issues.

You need someone to check these out.
