Anyone got a code reader near Banbury

Need to check some codes on my car - all ABS related. Just need to buy a sensor, anybody got a tool I could borrow for 5 mins? Happy to travel! Thinking of selling the car and upgrading hence don't want to invest in a code reader!

Cheers
Rob

Hi Rob, you can pick up a reader for less than 4 quid

I've got one similar to the above and it works fine paired to my phone.

Problem with these is that you'll likely struggle to pick up manufacturer specific codes..... I also have one of these ELM327 dongles and it fails to pick up a good few specific codes on my car.

I bought a Carly Dongle instead though the best solution is and D-Kan+INPA Cable, these can be had off eBay for about £30 and the software either comes with it or is easily found online.
