Call me stupid (I am) but how would I know if I need one of these or if a normal unit would be ok? I have a 1997 (nearly 1998) 940 2.3 turbo. Just let me know what I need to check to find out!

I think ( although I'm not expert by any means ) if you have an OBD port in your centre console thingy it will work. If you lift the lid you should see a panel in the middle that lifts up to reveal the OBD port

Only with a Volvo code reader! I can't remember where i read it last night but apparently as the 940 was discontinued in the USA from 1995, they didn't bother updating the engine management and OBD-II came about in around 2000 with manufacturers having to comply by 2001 i believe, by which time the 9xx was history anyway. As such, i don't think any 9xx models ever had OBD compliant (either I or II) DTC reading available.

I believe it does but it uses a different method of reading. It switches the pulsed outputs to the LED so the flashes can be counted and cross-referenced in the chart in the FAQ, linked to earlier in this thread.
