I think late 98 onwards do have OBD sockets. Mine has SSM or whatever it's called as mine is a 97 car.

I have a v reg 2.0 wagon and although my obd2 plugs in there is no response from it when put on Subaru or others but I thought all cars after 98 were supposed to be obd2 compliant or does it only apply to the states

make sure you read the instructions a few times, can be tricky reading the codes , as it flashs the checkengine light you have to count the flashs
