Hi I would go for hawkeye / hawkeye total or nanocom as these are specific for discovery 2 as it's not obd11 compatible
Thanks. Will have a look at them

Here ya go... https://www.nanocom-diagnostics.com/
Very happy with my nanocom. There are apparently some quirks with them so not 100% perfect but mine has been very handy. I delayed buying one, shortly after my D2 randomly inflated one side to full due to what turned out to be a broken connector. Had I had one I’d have been on my way home in minutes rather than hours of waiting for a recovery man to come and fiddle with it for another hour plus.

Nanocom does a couple of things that the Hawkeye does not, such as read/change the EKA code. But the main advantage is that it will record live data rather than just displaying it. This means you can go for a test drive and analyse the results when you get back. With the Hawkeye you need a second person to record the data as you go. However, Nanocom will charge you an arm and a leg for the software to look at any other LR than the one you bought it for. The Hawkeye Total is about £100 cheaper to begin with, does pretty much everything you really need, and other than the latest models covers all LRs from the Defender TD5 upwards. If you have more than one LR then Hawkeye Total is a better bet IMHO.
Thanks for info.. always the same with these diagnostic tools.. you buy them.. but you also need to buy software but only have d2 and think that will be the only one haha.. so looks like its the nanocom. Cheers

Just one more thing regarding on Nanocom. Even I am also satisfied with it and find very useful mine is quite unstable already from the very begining (I bought it is new from supplier).
It works but sometimes freezes and only restarts after disconnecting (usually after it is OK).

Have you updated the Nanocom firmware to version 1.34 or 1.35Beta?
I do not know the actual version but did it already several times in the first half year (proposed by black box as well as "solution" for my complain) but no difference.

For Hawkeye Total to cover them all you need all kind of adaptor dongles, see them in the right column at "Realated" https://bearmach.com/hawkeye-total-diagnostic-code-tool-ba-5068,IMHO for more LRs the best is Foxwell NT520 which has the connections in the plug, can record live data as well, it's ''smarter'' and it's cheaper http://www.obdexpress.co.uk/wholesale/foxwell-nt520-pro-scanner.html
