    no i dont think there is, but if its the hand held ones off ebay they're only for post 2002 year cars..... so maybe just luck that it read your mates car?

    Is one an ALDL 10 pin diag port and the other an OBD2 16 pin diag port? I borrowed a snap-on reader for a Corsa (I'm no expert on diag kit so not getting too technical here!) and noticed there were different modules required to communicate with each on the model I used. If this is the case for the two cars you've tried it on maybe worth a read of the manual? It's snap-on so if there's an expensive optional extra you need to buy it'll be listed in the book!
