Good morning all.

 

Having had to get an engine management light re-set following changing the fuel filter on my main car at the weekend, it occurred to me it would be handy to have a device which could read codes and allow re-setting as appropriate, particularly service required, etc.

 

So...can anyone recommend a reasonably priced tool which would allow reading and re-setting basic things?

 

Many thanks!
