just ordered ma self interface to link to ma laptop and get diagnostics via obd port on the zs or any other car for that matter., :):),
has anyone ever bought such a thing, there seems to be alot of free software out there just wondering what the best was?

there is company called powerdyn and it says ya can do power/torque graphs etc,
should be interesting wen it arrives, i'll keep everyone posted...

speak to KEV G matey he done the diagnostics test on my 180 at the weekend and let me know that one of my 02 sensors was playing up im sure he said his gear cost him about 100quid but considering mg garages are trying to charge 75 quid for a test its well worth the money
