I've not been able to use any OBD code readers on my car since I put the xe in. Maybe the diag port needs wiring in differently? If it does I'd love to know how to sort it out.

Which one have you got? I have an OBD scanner for the laptop and It reads live data from every vauxhall Ive plugged it into, even the corsa LET through the standard diagnostics port

The one I have at the moment is called opel scanner (www.opel-scanner.com) but Im not saying its the best, I was gonna try some others to see if there were better ones out there
Was planning on downloading others this week actually because sometimes this disconnects from the LET once the engine is started but sometimes its ok.

What device are you using to connect to the diag port?

Its an ebay jobbie, Pretty sure the engines were talking about arent ODB II because theyre too old, they are just OBD. Only got it last week and still need to test everything fully but it looks good, managed to force one of the injectors on while it was running and cover my mates car in soot

Heres a link to the auction, I was talking to the seller beforehand to make sure it would do what I wanted and he offered me a money back garuntee, hopefully I wont have to take him up on it bacause it seems a really usefull piece of kit. Already diagnosed my mates jerky car with a faulty TPS (throttle signal bouncing about when throttle is held steady)
Ebay link
