Re: computer interface for the 206cc
Save your money. The give away is the bit that says
My day-to-day code reader was £3500 and that doesn't do every vehicle fully. I have other kit for Mercedes / VW etc; (Although it's good for Peugeots luckily)
Not trying to be funny, you also need to be able to interpret the results and what they mean. For example, would you know what to do if you got P0220 (Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch B Circuit Malfunction Track 1) ?
You need to know how to further diagnose that component so you don't end up spending a fortune on parts you don't need (most dealers will not give refunds on electrical parts, unless supplied part is faulty)
It's a glorified EOBD reader. With peugeots (like most others) you quite often need manufacturer specific codes, as well as the ability to read ABS / Airbag faults etc: I would think the £25 ones are nearly as good.Full database built-in of generic fault code definitions
