Vehicle fault code reader

Hi, I noticed on the Euro Car Parts website that vehicle fault code readers have come down a lot in price.

Is there anything I should look for when buying one?

It's for home use,  I've got a few older vehicles but have the reader socket on them.

Cheers

I leave one of these permanently plugged in and read the fault codes on my Android if needed. Using the Torque app there are a lot of other tricks up its sleeve too. 

 

Beware - you'd need a different on for I phones.

+1 for Torque, a lot more powerful and versatile than a stand alone reader.
