   i was just wondering if there is any way of testing what fault codes there is without using a machine,
   the reason i ask is i have a vectra aswell and its possible to do this using a paperclip across two pins and it then flashes the eml light tellng you fault

   but that comp off ebay is only around £20 and if u take the car to a garage its going to be about £30 to do the same thing that does and you can use it over and over again good bye imo.
