Budget OBD2 reader - recommendations??

[breamster]

Hi,

I have a cheap eBay special OBD2 reader which doesn't manage to read much. Any recommendations for something a bit better?

Budget sub £50 which I appreciate is quite tight.

If it makes a difference it will be mainly used on fords. I don't mind some Bluetooth jobby or standalone. It also needs to be able to reset error codes.

Any ideas?

I think my old ebay jobbie was faulty in that it "worked" but returned no error codes. The new one I received today has returned the error code I expected which is (sort of) good!

I'm not trying to do anything clever with it other than engine codes. The intermittent error I am seeing relates to the immobiliser which Ford want to try a £500 part (plus labour) on the off chance it fixes it!
