I've been reading the Coding thread for ages now and now I think I'll give it a go and have decided to build my own cable, the prices people are charging on eBay are a touch steep for what it is.

Total cost to build your own cable, I've worked it out to be about £5.42 potentially less if I get the 510 ohm from a Maplins for less than £1.53.

1. 1 Meter Shielded Cat6 cable: £1.90

2. 510 Ohm .25 Resistor: 3p + £1.50 delivery, will check Maplins if I can avoid the delivery charge.

3. OBD216 Pin Male Connector: £1.99 inc delivery
