obd bluetooth thingy (http://www.themgzs.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=23062&highlight=bluetooth)

torque app (http://www.themgzs.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=22866)

always worth doing a quick search mate

welcome to the site :)

Edit: Just to add its good for a few diags or seeing what happening

but its not as good as scangauge because it has about a second lag because of the Bluetooth

The only thing I should add to that is...

I have a crappy "eBay special" Bluetooth adaptor and it crashes regularly (so I can't just leave it all plugged in) its fine for the most part but after a few mins of use it needs pulling and plugging back in to the odbii port which is not the best idea when driving!

My recommendation is to follow the advice of the app and get a decent adaptor (they list ones that work well in the app info) as although you will spend more in the short term it will pay off in the long term, plus they are a lot faster as well!
