Looking to purchase a decent scanner and code resetter for myself as a reasonably experienced diyer. The family fleet consists of Suzukis, old Toyota, Fiat panda and Peugeot partner 1.6 hdi. I would like to be able to interrogate and reset parameters particularly around the diesel Eolys and DPF data if poss, or at least see live data of what is going on. I like to do my own work as far as possible and farm out more complex stuff. Any recommendations please? Budget will be up to a couple of hundred ( I know PSA models are more complex)

I'm no expert but a lot of the chaps I know tend to use snap-on gear, no idea of price's.

Unfortunately, there’s not one machine that’ll do it all . I’d be looking at scanners from Autel and Topdon . Probably going to be £250 ++ . You’re not going to get a snap on machine for less than £2k

icarsoft is good for various marques.

But if you have a Peugeot in the stable you'll need a Lexia / Diagbox cable and software.
