I'd been meaning to look into an OBD scanner for Android smartphone, and posted on here about it. A helpful member (stevebg) pointed me at 'Car Scanner'. I dug out a Carista dongle I'd forgotten about, downloaded the app - and wow! Connected right away, and seems well-featured and responsive. I haven't had time to do more than ensure connectivity and do a quick scan, but it was enough to flag up a couple of glow plug faults. I'll be paying for the full version, but the free one is well worth checking out.

seems to be a lot of very knowledgeable people here which i plan to make use of haha, I only hope I can contribute as much

thankyou, definitely don't mind getting my hands dirty, have always done my own repairs and servicing on all my cars but self taught and certainly do not consider myself a pro by any means lol.
