Based on what is said in the listing it will work with a stilo/panda petrol car just fine.

Thanks for that Dan..very grateful for your input on it..when you say fuse box I take it you mean the one under the dash or the one by the battery

Thank You for that very clear and precise info and not in geek speak..

I use the memoscan u581, you can pick it up for about £40, and its covers 000's of cars inc the Stilo range.
You can turn of the MIL with it (Thats a saving of around £50 from the dealer diagnostic session), plus it allows for live data, i'e you can run the engine with it attached and it will feed out the results (Airmass flow etc). Giveso ut the diagnostic codes with thier actual meaning too, (rather than a random number and a code book)
Thumbs up from me for the memoscan range.

Ermmm what is Mil.. totally confused .com now..to me can bus are to items ..one you get food out of and the other one comes in twos when you been waiting an hour..

Based on what is said in the link it will work with a stilo/panda/1000's of other petrol cars just fine.
