You need a Cheapo/Real Tech II or a local garage with a reasonable code reader. If you have (access to) a suitable laptop then buying a Cheapo Tech II would be cheaper in the long run because a garage will charge around the purchase price of a Cheapo Tech II to reset it ;)  ;)

Not sure! But my local dealer will charge you an hours labour to plug their Tech II in if you just want a diagnosis.
A local auto spark charged me £20/£25 to reset the airbag light in my lads Astra F (Tech I & I couldn't talk to it  :( )

thnx aris :y :y
