So how did your search go, when it was going?

I had no replies from anyone with a used one. I found 2 used ones on eBay but the bids went high on both of them, above the price of one from China so gave them a miss. Then I received information of VOL-PCR for older cars and obtained the software. Just need to get a VAG COM OBD2 lead with an FTDI chip and will be sorted.

Lucky people.
We don't have compulsory OBD compliance until about 2005 on our cars.

Try it by manually inputting the VIN (they can't read the diesel's), it might work then - no promises
