Default On Board Diagnostics

Can anyone tell me if a 1986 3 door Cossie has an OBD plug socket, and if so, where is it please?

I have an ipaq, and the link below is for software that can monitor the cars workings, but I need to plug into the OBD port

Can anyone help please?

no they don't. none of the l1, l6 or l8 ecu's are odb compatible, or if they are, at least there is no on board or external connector.

certain diagnostic functions are included and can be read with a fault code reader as described here

for more on the ODB compatibility, contact SECS as he is a genius with this sort of stuff
