Evening

I have an MOT due in about 10 days and have just found out that nowadays an engine warning light may be an automatic fail.

I've been searching through the forums and it sounds like the only consumer-level code reader that might have worked for this was the BSR PPC system, which is no longer available.

I've tried disconnecting the battery for 30 mins or so to no avail so can anyone help with suggestions to the following:

- New ways to read fault codes from a 2000 V70 TDI?
- Anyone with an appropriate code reader in the region around Aldershot, Hampshire?
- Anyone with a suitable code reader for sale?

- Top tips on things to try in the event of an engine (emission system?) light?
- Good garages who could help at sensible prices in this area?
- Obvious questions I've missed!!!

Thanks in advance,

Bill
