These are pretty good really as they give off flash codes which is now read up as fault codes (P,C,B,U) its good you still have the paper work as that will indicate where you need to connect(bridge) the machine

I used to have that exact same machine back in the day. Worked very well. I used it on my Granadas which had (I think) ECCIV ECU's.

When you use it, have a note pad to jot down the code, whcih comes out like morse code, and them look it up in the book.

Depends on people's work load they worth what anyone's prepared to pay, if you work on classics/pre 95/96 then its worth at least £20 a car
