I have an earlier version of the Easy Diagnostics equipment, which I have found very useful. It is NOT the cheapest, but it will have the full 'opto-coupler' set, so it should work on most PSA vehicles (although for Fiat derived vans you will need an S1279 module);

Diagbox is the later version of the software that contains both the older Lexia and PP2000 for Peugeot (encapsulated software that will auto launch according the the vehicle and build date). So you only need to focus on Diagbox. Version 7 is fine and then upgrade that to 7.58 and you will be ok. Just make sure the hardware is full chip CAN compatible.

Well you were right as I purchased Lexia from easydiagnostics & had real problems with my laptop & software issues (my laptop causing problems not Lexia) and the service was beyond anything I've ever experienced before and we're all up & running, but if this had been an ebay purchase I would just had to throw it away as the support I needed wouldn't have been there.
I cannot recommend them highly enough.

No worries, Jim is very helpful and there's a lot of support here from members if you get stuck.
