You only get fault codes with obd2 but clios don't have obd2 it's some clapped out old fashioned thing that you can't read unless you've got the kit renault used

"Fault codes" can be read by XR25 diagnostic tool, or XR25 diagnostic cable + XR25 emulator software (and Renault Clip if I'm right). Williams does not store or supply fault codes directly but the mentioned diagnostic tools can "translate" the live data that used by the ECU. If there is any wrong value, it's shown in a bar graph. If you have an XR25 diagnostic cable and you know the correct value of a given parameter, you can also make a diagnostic on your car by Tuner Pro software. I have this cable and softwares (both XR25 emulator and Tuner Pro) and I often use them, moreover almost always record the live data of my car. Love it.

is this an old school method of plugging 2 pins into a fuse and getting a read out or shall i aim to buy something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290923014663?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
