Default Which Code Reader?

Hi All

SO I'm having a few issues with my XC 70. I've been running it a year and am now at the point of either fix it or scrap it depending on the cost to fix the three issues it has

1st there is the rear shock that needs replacing and its the Dealer only self levelling type so unless I can find a breaker that's enough to scrap the car in itself.


2nd is a noise/clunk in the front suspension/steering. I've not been able tpo investigate this yet so no idea on the cost


3rd (and the reason for the post) is that the car keeps going into limp mode and my cheap generic OBDII reader can't read the code so I'm after advice on an upgrade of code reader that would be able to read the full Volvo codes (and full codes for other vehicles too).
Could someone recommend something. I'm happy to spend money but not on a generic Volvo reader as Ii doubt I'll ever buy a newer Volvo, I prefer the old ones that don't have limp mode


Any help greatly appreciated.


Thanks
