Does anybody have or know of anybody that has the M52 engine diagnostics tool near Swindon/Cirencester?

I need to read the faults on an M52 engine but cannot get the car to a garage. I'm happy to pay for someone's service.

Thanks

Is this suitable? I figured a lot would be useless hence not wanting to waste money, but sounds like they are ok?

Do you need a manual to read the fault codes or are they self explanatory?

Ok, thanks for the heads up. I've ordered it now so will wait and see when it arrives and I try to set it up.

Has anybody else had a similar problem?
