thanks dithane, 

 

the only panel i can find is the fuse box which is under the dash on the right hand side , it does not have the obd socket . i presume it must be hidden . The bonnet handle is on the lh side hidden behind the passenger door when closed.  hopefuly it wlll easy to find this thing.   many thanks

No - seriously - the port is there on the extreme right. The port is pointing downwards - and aligned north-south.

The actual port socket is in a carrier - and if it's anything like the one on mine - when pushing an OBD plug into it, the socket unclips from one side of the carrier - and turns sideways.

So - on this one - it's necessary to put one hand in over the carrier to keep the socket from popping out, whilst the other hand (awkwardly) plugs the OBD in.

 

I'm afraid I don't have a photo just now...

Ok - here's a quick, just taken, phone shot ...

 

 

EDIT: that's the wires onto the top of accelerator pedal there at the top left ...
