Do you mean Simtec 56.5?

If so, then you just need a paperclip to short out pins 5 & 6 in the 16-pin ALDL Test Plug. Full instructions given here:-

Sorry, 56.5. Thanks Dave, a paper clip is much cheaper than a reader and a reader is much, much cheaper than a Vauxhall dealer.I'll give it a go,cheers.

Paper clip across terminal 5 & 6 revealed a suspect camshaft sensor. Thanks for the advice.

That's the most common fault. It could just be the sensor, or the plug / socket joint.

Whichever it is, details of the fix is here:
