Purchased the Multi-Protocol USB interface and VauxCheck software. The interface is a very well made product with quality cables and connectors. The software installation on my old IBM Thinkpad laptop (XP) was no problem. Indeed, the activation code arrived instantly after entering the details via the desktop PC. Better yet, connecting the system to my Corsa B diagnostic port revealed all, problem fixed with a bit of spanner work and clearing the codes of doom. Many thanks.
