Technical MES Diagnostic Swindon

[swindonpunto]

I'm a newbie in Swindon with a 2005 1.2 Punto I've bought for my daughter.

I've got the 'classic' problem of the speedo not working, However all the other gauges are working fine. The car has got ABS. The ABS light doesn't come on at all. Not even when the car is started up and its running through its start up cycle.

I understand that the speedo takes its measurement from the sensors on the hubs, however I'm concerned after doing a bit of research that there could be an issue with the ABS Unit.

I've plugged in my OBD generic reader and its given me a P0500 error code, however I think that I need a MES Diagnostic check run on it.

I'm based in Swindon, and wondered if there is anyone near that may have one, that for a fee would be able to help me out and plug their reader into the car?

Thanks!

Is "scratch our heads together" some sort of innuendo?
