Rover + OBD-II reader problem

Hi

Rover '02 1.6 Engine management light came on.

Bought a U480 OBD-II reader and the booklet says OBD-II *should* be compatible for all European cars after '01. However I was suspicious because the pin-out is not similar to any of the listed protocols !

However it started off OK and showed 1 fault, but when stepping on to read the code it returns N/A which is described as 'Not supported on that vehicle' Anyway, it has allowed me to clear the count and after a run of about 20 miles, it hasn't so-far reappeared.

So to the question, what should I be looking for to read the codes, should it reappear ?

Thanks

A garage that has Solus or similar. My small hand held OBD reader won't do Rovers properly either.

Would anyone have the pin out descriptions of the Rover 25 ODB socket please?

Yes, should have been OBD. Things have moved on and I know the pin out - I already had it on a CD !

What might be helpful now, is to know how pin 5 is wired on a car where one of these hand-held readers, like the U480 does work. i.e. how is the signal earth provided ?
