Is this what I want? And do you know of any knocking around cheaper?

I just have a nagging doubt about the fuel filter not being the only problem here. I think it's great that Jamie is getting himself an OBD2 reader and can monitor the situation if it happens again (which I strongly suspect it will).

Personally I would go back to the mechanic and raise your concerns. It would of been cheaper to go main dealers.
I don't have an Android unfortunately (just a blackberry). I searched for the D900, would this to the trick?

Relatively expensive for a reader, but will apparently read all codes, not just engine ones.
If you want something cheaper - for reading engine codes only - then I previously mentioned the 'ELM327' Bluetooth OBD2 interface, but you would need an Android smartphone and the Torque app to go with it (wifi version for use with an Apple). I have a 'D900' standalone OBD2 reader that will also give real-time data, and there's a very basic 'U480' unit that will simply read and delete codes. All available on eBay.
All right, thanks buying that £19 one nowJon_G said:My D900 (2011 model) works fine with my Honda... reads and deletes all engine codes (explaining the generic ones in English, but not the Honda-specific ones) and also showing real-time data for things like MAF, MAP, temperature, etc. But won't do non-powertrain error codes (like ABS/VSA codes). I bought it from eBay... if you do buy one then make sure you get one with the carry case. Or get the cheaper U480 readers (will only read/delete engine codes) which are fairly popular.
I was actually quite impressed with the one you found on eBay, as it apparently reads all codes. But is quite expensive.
Yeah, will always get a quote before a service in futureF6HAD said:Another problem solved with a genuine filter
I still feel peeved when I think of how much you paid that rip off garage!
Yep got that a few weeks ago. It sits in the car with the 30 page manual printed out, in case of emergenciesJon_G said:Brilliant!
Did your code reader turn up?
Haha, nah that was a little pricey for what it was. Brought this one for about £19Jon_G said:30 pages!
I'm guessing you got that neat-looking one from eBay that'll read all vehicle codes?
