It will do nothing on a P38 diesel, so a waste of money. Nanocom is the best.

The good thing with a nanocom is they hold there value, there is always some one looking for one.

On the turbo hoses you are looking for internal delamination. Looking at the outside will prove nothing.

Still getting the nanocom though, right?....
It's a range rover and this was it just having a poke at you.....you're gonna need it when that day comes when it decides it wants to test the limits of your patience and sanity

I did well not to have a nanocom for over a year, until I recently bought one and after changing my alternator I ended up have to put the fip code back into the BECM.... The worst thing was I don't know what happened for it to be lost after replacing the alt'????
Glad I'd bought it in the end.

A messy disconnect of the battery can scramble the FIP code.I did well not to have a nanocom for over a year, until I recently bought one and after changing my alternator I ended up have to put the fip code back into the BECM....

A battery going completely flat on the car or losing a cell will certainly cause loss of sync.

true and true!A battery going completely flat on the car or losing a cell will certainly cause loss of sync.
I didn't disconnect mine... A little risky to say the least. But..... I made it out alive.... Phew...
was thinking of putting an isolator/cut off switch on battery,is it any harm to disconnect battery when not in use?A battery going completely flat on the car or losing a cell will certainly cause loss of sync.

In principle, not a problem, but you may find it loses sync occasionally. A solar panel the keep the battery charged is a better solution IMO.

Best to keep battery topped up, it depends on what you mean by not in use.
it was a bit of an impluse buy,have no real use for it so it will probably be lying up most of the time.
but have to admit it's starting to grow on me now
