If it's a petrol you may get engine data but nothing else. If it's a diesel you will get nothing at all.

I am using the Android app Torque for the same reason you want it for.
My car is a 2000 Thor 4.6 though.
You will need a Bluetooth obd scan tool, something from Amazon like this..... Auto Car Diagnostic Scan Tool ELM327 Mini Interface V1.5 Bluetooth Version OBD2.

Does the temperature gauge not work?

Anything with the elm327 should work so if money is a concern, do a search for "elm327" and buy the cheapest.
