Can this be used to read fault codes and carry out diagnostics?
I'm assuming I just need to buy the item in glens link and use it with a laptop?

Yes it can be used for just reading fault codes. But it can be used for much more.

Just engine fault codes or does it cover airbag and abs modules as well?
I've got 3 Ford cars so would be worth having for that price,

I'd been looking for a recommended Elm.
Saw this, ordered Saturday off the link and it arrived today.

Not tried it yet, includes a disc, not looked at that either yet.
