hi there is nothing wrong with the car or machine older vauxhalls will not work on these kind of machines. u need a op-com or a teck 2 or the paper clip test like mr whittingehame as said.

Hi, ok, tried the paper clip test. nothing. no lights flashed. all that come on was the hand break light ( no flashing). so, could this mean the ECU has had it??
