I don't know what the status of OBD is in Europe, I know the connectors
aren't/weren't standardized, but are the protocols?

Here in NA the protocols AND connectors, along with connector location
are all standardized, so if you get a code reader that supports the 4
protocols (ISO, CAN, Ford and GM) it will work in any card sold here.

So assuming that at least the protocols are standardized over there, you
just need to find a code reader that covers the 4 protocols with the
right connector for your car. Here you can get code readers for less the
$100 very easily, if you wait for a sale even less. 

I have an Equus one (at least I think that's what it's called). I also
use a ScanGaugeII (http://www.scangauge.com/) a wonderful piece of kit
that also gives you live information.
