Which fault code reader?
 
I haven't been around a lot as my car has been so reliable, i haven't needed any advice! :thumb:

Anyway, ages ago, my Engine management light came on, reporting a faulty lambda sensor. It was around the time that we were having lots of rain and the roads were pretty badly flooded and filthy. The recovery company i was with, reset the fault and it has stayed away for months.

On my way to work this morning, cruising at around 60mph on a dual carriageway, the light came on again. I was thinking about getting a fault code reader but not sure which one... Don't want to spend a lot as i might aswell take it to a garage if that's the case. There are tons on ebay and i don't mind spending a few quid if i know i'm getting the right one.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

does this one sound a bit iffy? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAR-PC-DIAGNOS...item23111adcdf

i use a similar thing with my Triumph bike and it works great... Never really dabbled with car reset tools though.

or this Draper one? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Draper-Expert-...item2310ab4888

or this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/UNIVERSAL-CAR-...item2eb5799381
