Hi all. Just aquired one of those inspection/oil service reset gizmos with a multi-point connector on the end. Looks like a scart plug. The blurb says 'connect to OBD2 unit'. Where might that be? Looked in the fuse box under the stairs etc. but can't find anything to mate it with.

Just below your right knee, drivers side. tucked away underneath

Thanks takestock, that was mighty quick. That's my Saturday morning get-out-of-Tesco's taken care of.

Slow by our standards

Hi Jumper - which of the varios gizmos did you actually buy?

I'd photo it and attach but camera is gravid or hypertensive or something. However, if you tap in item 170454671729 on ebay you'll get it. Did it today (again thanks to takeaway - I still think it was quick) in two minutes. Looks very simple kit but works. Bit like me. Good value and arrived next day. There was no instructions so I had to 'enlarge' the photo on ebay. I'd just done a service and the display was getting me down.

I can remember when these were quite expensive, cheap as chips now.

Sooo sorry takestock! Thinking of my lunch at the time now that I've got nothing to do.

Can this be used on both petrol and diesel 75s ??

SpongeBob · Posted 12 Feb 2011, 20:11 #11

Yes TF, these tools are fine for any 75/ZT derivative.

Tourerfogey · Posted 12 Feb 2011, 20:39 #12

Right, if I solve my coolant problem and keep the 75 I'll get myself one.

uvs166 · Posted 03 Mar 2011, 23:51 #13

Does it read the codes or just reset the lights?
I would like one that does both, If this one doesnt then is there one that could be recommended?
I have a 2001 CDT, i have a code reader for my 98 corsa but the software on the laptop is just for vauxhall, could I just get the software for the Rover? If yes any recommendations on which? and from where?
Thanks.
Malc.

Hi Malc.
That is just a service indicator reset. Someone that knows which code readers are available will be along, probably tomorrow now.

MN190 · Posted 03 Mar 2011, 23:57 #15

The one in the above link just resets the service interval info

uvs166 · Posted 04 Mar 2011, 00:15 #16

Will look back tomorrow then.
Thanks for the prompt replies folks.
Malc.
