software I would say. try a newer version of the software

I drive a 99 peugeot 306 HDi (2 litre turbo diesel) and it connects and reads just fine.

There's nothing wrong with your car and there's nothing wrong with the software you are using. The car is simply stating that it's not compliant to any OBD2/EOBD rules.
It does not have to comply to OBD2 because that rule only applies to cars sold in the United States of America.
It does not have to comply to EOBD (the European set of rules) because that states that existing diesels do not have to comply until 1st January 2004.
Be glad your car communicates, a lot of diesels from this year (or even newer) do not communicate at all.
