Has anyone any advice or suggestions on connecting to the CAN bus on this car if indeed there is one.

I have experience of working with CAN bus networks on other machines but not cars so might be able to use some of my work tools.

I want to have a look for active and previously active fault codes to help me diagnose some fuelling probs.

It doesn't use one. The engine ECU probably has the facility in there somewhere; but it isn't wired out to any other module.

Not easy things to communicate with, even for a proper scanner.
