Yeah but, you say "live data". This problem is intermittant and
never happens when it's taken to the garage (as is the way with
these things).

While not exactly the cheap option, (but no more than an hours labour
at a main dealer) I've heard good reports on these;

Just plug it into your OBD socket and it records all error codes over
24hours, then plug it into your USB on the PC to view the record.

I'm just waiting for a dodgy intermittant problem so I have an excuse
to buy one

Now that looks interesting. Just the sort of diagnostic tool a main dealer
ought to have for these intermittant problems.

Any idea if it can be left running for more than 24hrs and then unplugged
after the problem shows itself? I'm guessing it would hold the most recent
data and ditch the data 24hrs old.
