Hey all i was just perusing the assortment of usual stuff on eBay, kinda came across these

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OBDMATE-OM500-JOBD-OBDII-EOBD-Car-Diagnostic-Scan-Tool-OBD2-Code-Reader-/291205296575?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43cd3031bf

I'm curious if anyone knows a) If they are any good B) If they will work on my car?

Plus any other opinions and advice.

A paper clip huh.. Tell me more

You should have OBD1, which is basically a terminal box in the engine bay labelled DIAGNOSTICS. Inside that are a bunch of jumpers that you bridge with a paperclip or short length of wire - bridging TE1 to E1 is the standard method for pulling error codes from the ECU, which are displayed as coded flashing of the Check Engine light.

Simple, but it works. Australia and Japan didn't adopt OBDII until well into the 2000s, the mentions of '96+ on the internet are referring to North American models.
