I believe a couple of people from here have bought this ebay item, and have reported having very good service from the seller (remote help getting it set up etc).

Yes, Lexia 3 will work on your 2002 C5. Make sure you find a Lexia kit which includes Peugeot Planet (I think they all do, but need installing seperately), as you will need that for your 307.

I've had a Peugeot 107 on my Lexia but I thought the other models are different, I'm not sure of that :lol:

A properly working Lexia 3 which includes Diagbox 6.xx, Lexia and PP2000 should work on any Citroen or Peugeot made since the early 90's right up until present day... however there are many Chinese clone interfaces floating around on ebay that will not run versions of Diagbox later than 5.29, and also many that just aren't very well made and fail on certain ECU's on certain models of car. (Various theories proposed as to why, including poor soldered joints inside the interface going to the diagnostic cable)

Unfortunately not all Lexia's are made equal (despite looking the same on the outside) so buying one can be a bit of a minefield. Definitely best to buy one from a seller which other forum members have bought from and had success with.

Mine came from easydiagnostics, I've personally used it on a Xantia V6 Mk2, a 2002 C5 HDi 110 Diesel Automatic and a C4 Picasso (RichardW's) without any issues so far.

Yes, odd that.
I recently bought one from this seller, and it's fine, no problems with the device, software or the transaction, but eBay have pulled the listing, and have invited me to raise a 'case' if necessary. I can't even leave him positive feedback.

He has his own website though:

http://www.ukpolboy.comoj.com

But he's no longer listing the Lexia :(

are you sure - cos I looked at products and found this ...

and now it is time for me to ask the silly question - will I get the cables required to work on an XM if I spend £60 on this - bearing in mind I have two XMs, with another coming in a week or so.

Nice one dnsey, at least people have a cheaper and seemingly just as reliable alternative to easy diagnostics :)
I found the Lexia too on that site (although the site does look a bit dodgy! Lol)

His 'products' link (on this browser) says 'under construction'.
Maybe my cache needs cleaning!
