L322 Which diagnostic tool?

BillyboysLad · Jul 7, 2021

Hello All
Without wanting to start a cat fight, can I ask for views regarding my choices for iid tool.
I had intended to delay looking into this issue for a couple of weeks/months, I have more than enough work just general servicing and cleaning my new car, but now I have started I just can't get help myself.
Looking through various forums etc and with a mind on how much these things cost, I am particularly looking at the Lynx Evo or the Gap.
Any things I should consider with their relative proficiencies, ease of use, cost of future licences etc?
Cheers,
Mark

You haven't got an Ejoke you've got a TD6 , from reading your post First day with Sally.

I have a GAP IID for sale but you would have to check with GAP if it covers your model (I think so) and also what it would cost to transfer it over to your VIN. (Someone said £25 but again check.)

GAP IID is brilliant, smaller than a fag packet and runs on your phone so you're never without it.

Send me a PM if interested.

I believe the following is what they use for the ejoke

Addit: Did they do the ejoke in 2003 or that engine?

Think you mean Vogue which is not a model it's a trim level.

I do believe a can of petrol and a box of matches work well on the Ejoke

That and if they're full of plastic rollers and cans of hair lacquer.

Doh! I guess I'll just have to take that on the chin. My boss has just bought an actual Evoque, must have had that word stuck in my head. Thank you all for pointing out my faux pas

Ps and yes, she does indeed use rollers and hair lacquer

Foxwell. Unless you like spending money!

Thank you for bringing that up, rightly or not, I am informed that there are a "number" of faults/codes that this unit cannot read or clear. Any elaboration on this would be welcome.

I think peeps will always say that.
You could do worse than speak to them directly quoting the codes others say they cannot read.
I always have found them to be very amenable.
Mine was bought for my TD5 but as you know once bought you can use it on any LR or Jag model with no extra expense.
So far mine has never let me down and I have also used the straight OBD2 facility to diagnose and fix Wifey's car which is a a Citroen Pluriel. And to check my stepson's camping car was OK.
I have a 520 pro and peeps say the 530 is better, but it is later than mine.
Whatever, it is far cheaper than a Nano or a Hawk, it just doesn't have some of the sophisticated facilities that I don't think I'd even know how to use. But at least I wouldn't have to pay to "open" it for another Landy.

Hi

May i add plse , I have a gap iid and indeed is a brilliant bit of kit , however as urs is a diesel 2003 a gap iid won’t work as it’s not OBD2 compliant

have heard about the RSW but that needs an android tablet with a USB port or laptop

hope that also helps

Wazzajnr · Jul 7, 2021

Gap iid works according to their website on 2003 diesel

JUKE179r · Jul 7, 2021

If you plan on keeping her, get a Nanocom. It’ll pay for itself in the long run.
If you need diagnostic tester just read/clear Land Rover specific faults, get a Foxwell.
Mind you I’ve got both for my Disco 2 V8.

Wazzajnr · Jul 7, 2021

Can the foxwell calibrate eas?

that’s weird, only say that because I was told it wouldn’t work from gap themselves

I’ll email them again as that will bug me , as if that’s correct it will work on @gold rover rangy

please don’t think I’m being rude but would be nice that we know 100% for future reference

will let u know as I’ve got one of the head gap iid emails

no worries , have just emailed one of the head engineers of gap and will of course let u know

also asked if it will work with an android tablet via Bluetooth

was told ages ago it wouldn’t work , would be awesome if it did because of the EAS

will let u know as soon as I hear anything
