Hi All,
I am writing from Scotland where my 2003 3.2S has just illuminated the CEL for the first time. Don't suspect anything too serious. Probably a misfire / coilpack etc, but obviously need to download the codes for remedial attention.

Reading various other threads the favoured scanner in U.S. appears to be Actron 9180. This is not readily available in the U.K. and looks infinitely superior to other cheaper alternatives available through Ebay UK etc. Any comments or recommendations before I source from U.S. at approx $130 + $ 45 shipping.

Thanks for your help. Stuart.
