The usual Lexia 3 / PP2000 clone will do all Pugs & Cisterns as far back as you like, just not real modern ones as you're using an out of date copy of the software, so it's frozen in time. You can get one for about £70 nowadays, search eBay for 'Lexia 3'

I'm using. Autel maxi scan,
Model. Ms300.
It works on all pugs/cisterns. From 1996 to 06 petrol n derv..
I've had no problem with it so far .. there cheap too.
They won't retrieve abs/airbag codes
Read vin function,won't work on petrol pugs but for everything else they do the job..
You can pick them up for under 14 quid.
