Obdii Cable In Ayrshire Area?

[14N-FR]

My engine light came on the other night while driving in a rather spirited manor.

I was accelerating through the gears and the car suddenly lost power for around a second then came back to life with the engine light on.

I am just looking to see what the fault was quickly for my own reference.

Does anyone in the Ayrshire/Kilmarnock area (I live in Mauchline) have an OBDII reader/cable I could use?

Thanks for the offers guys, but the fault code seems to have cleared itself for now. I started the car this morning and it was gone.

Can the fault still be read even though it has cleared itself? I would like to know what it was that caused it in the first place.

I believe the code history can be read mate.

Did your car come back to life with full power

when it happened or did it go into 'limp mode'?

It stuttered for all of about 1 second (it felt like I had hit the rev limiter, but at the time I was only in 4th gear @ 3-4K rpm). It came back to life straight away but the engine light was on. I pulled over straight away, turned off the car, started it again and the engine light was still there.

It remained on the day after also for the 5 minute drive I took it on. Then surprisingly the day after when I started the car and the engine light was off.

The car starts as it should, all lights illuminate when the ignition is on, then they extinguish and the car starts normally.

Its a bit of a mystery, but if the code history can be read, I would like to know what happened.

Same thing happened again tonight and the engine light is back on. Anyone near Mauchline that is off during the day tomorrow???

I go back offshore on Saturday so would like to see what this problem is before I leave.......
