What engine is it? As I only get about 90/100 miles to £20 at today's fuel prices.

hi its a 1.4

The diagnostic plug is in the glove box at the driver's side, near the fuse box IIRC.

hi thanks whats IIRC thanks again

isn't it just above the fuses

 

[Roelích]

IIRC= if I remember correctly.

Hope you get the car sorted.

IIRC = If I Remeber Correctly

and yes it is where the fuses are. rip the little pannel away from under the steering wheel, you know, where you store your wallet and shades (well i do), and the fuses are on the right hand side of that

which plug is it

hi thanks all for the replys i found the place were its located thers a few empty sockets near some relays which is the socket for the diagnostic thingy i cant see 1 off the fuse board that look like a standerd shape like on other cars does any one know what type or shaped pins it takes thanks again

the diagnostics plug is at the opposite side to the fuses... its on the left hand side of the drivers glovebox. Just open it up and look left and youll see it

 

[ibiza_95]

Thats the type of plug that fits into it BTW so look for the thing thats shaped ready to accept that
