98 Freelander diesel, OBD1?

brulynn said:

Newbie, so apologies if this has been covered. Two questions: I have read on previous post that it is better to take turbo boost pressure from diagnostic software rather than a guage. So, is my Freelander OBD1 compliant and what software will I need for my laptop?
Q2 if the guage method is accurate enough to enable me to raise the boost by 2 or 3 psi, where do I connect it?

you will need a hawkeye or a nanocom (think thats right) system to work your diagnostic socket

i love it just for the fact it saves me £46 a go at the local place that can read it it help me fix my 3 warning lights also told me when my acc pedal was on floor it only read 77% so sorted that problem out aswell

i would recommend it to anyone but if you have 2001 or later you need to do a little extra homework and find out if you need any adapters i was lucky and didnt need any at all

It can do fobs with the v5 software (well it's got the option) but someone on ere said you need the serial number of the fob. Should be on a sticker supplied with it. Not sure as I've never tried it.

FL2 have a barcode number on the fob that needs to be put into the ECU via dealer / 3rd party software.

FL1 (Lucas 17TN) are simpler; you put the car body ECU into fob learning mode with dealer / 3rd party software and press the buttons so it learns the codes.

The very bottom of this page: https://blackbox-solutions.com/shop/help/SM024.html explains how it works, in this case for Rovacom.
