Under the front centre ashtray usually. Pull the little release lever and lift it out.

Take it to a garage that know what they're doing? If they can find the OBD port what chance do they stand of fixing any fault?

Silly question, but did no-one look in the drivers manual, I thought it was shown in there?

Sorry, I seem to have missed that part in your first post. Oh wait...

Either way, why out your pride and joy in the hands of anybody, convenient or not, when they're clearly clueless.

A quick simple search of google would surely have helped them without them ever having to tell you they had no clue.

Here you go
