Default OBD2 reader

Hi, I would very much like to add my name to those in need of one of your patent 940 OBD2 readers. My Celebration has decided to suddenly start running very rough. Tried to contact direct but the system won't allow me.
Not sure if you can access my email ( bit of a novice on the forum ) for payment etc. but if not let me know through the forum and I'll get it to you. Thanks

Ive spoken to the supplier of the cases and they SHOULD be with me by Monday or Tuesday of next week, at which point production will re-commence. As before, they'll be available on a "first-come, first-served" basis at £20 each all inclusive.

This is clearly a serious piece of kit. Well done.

For myself, I'm lost here. What cars/engines might this work with? Where/how does it connect to the car?

Is it usable please with a 240 B200F LH 2.4 to get more diagnostic info than is available from the built in code reader?

Stephen,

It won't work with your 240, unfortunately, as the plug goes into a socket mounted in the cubby behind the handbrake lever, whereas your car has, I believe, a socket mounted in the engine bay with a push-button to read the codes(and someone will correct me on this if I'm mistaken).

Thank you. I guessed "something" like that. But when I left junior school....after the second day....Mr Basset told me: Stephen never be afraid to ask.

I'm not aware of any socket on the 240 for a reader. There is the inbuilt code reader and I'm currently trying to get beyond a code for more information.

Default Good news update -at last

Finally the cases are en route. The first batch will be here tomorrow (Friday) so there will be three available for sale/dispatch on Monday, as I will be assembling them on Saturday.

The first two units are now complete; Messrs Parry and Agass will be receiving theirs early next week. My own example will be completed tomorrow.
There are components for another half-dozen in stock so if anyone else is interested please feel free to conact me.
