If I buy one of these for my other car (Mondeo ST, will it also work on the VX220 T to read faults, perhaps clear some fault codes?
Probably a stupid question but I really don't understand it enough.
Thanks for your advice.

The cheap 10 quid eBay code readers will do engine lights on most obd cars
I have used mine on ford Alfa Renault and the plastic thing
To get into abs or airbag I thing you generally need manufacturer specific or the expensive trade kit

IIRC the VX uses the KWP2000 protocol so as long as it supports that then it should work.
