What is the EAS software people are referring to - the RSW?
For OBD readers? - Faultmate? - only issue is that they are apparently good for the one vehicle.
But I guess if it works the $ maybe worth the reduced aggravation of chasing the unknown
Or is there something else?

Nanocom is cheaper than the Faultmate and does the same things, it's not locked to one vehicle just to one engine type but other engine can be added for not a lot.
RSW is IMO the best EAS software, it's a free download but you have to make your own cable or buy one.
 
Saw the Nano earlier - its a few $'s - does one add all the "add on's" unlock code options?
Yes that was the issue with Faultmate - only one vehicle unless you add yearly license etc.
Sorry, accustom to OBD readers for "domestic" vehicles but have never seen the Nano or Fault really at work.
Will maybe check youtube specifically.
Will check out the RSW - have a good puter shop in town so cabling should not be a problem - but can always order seems every thing rover is a wait on the mail.
Cheers
 
I have used a Carista OBD dongle with Car Scanner from the play store, it's OK for reading info but not resetting anything, for that I bought the RSW EAS Suite4 which is a good suite of diagnostic tools and you get a propriety cable in the price, there's lots of info on the website and Storey is very helpful too.

Thx, was taking a look at the RSW - will wade through options tonight - want something that answers the questions and just get to it - and I guess just wait on the mail - just a P38 (older rover thing) - nothing like amazon prime.
I've seen the RSW youtube stuff as well.
I just dont get how the system had "minor" faults and then just cratered with out any build up of issues.
Cheers,
 
Have you had a read of the Late Wammers thread in the tech archive it goes through the eas system for testing

You don't get a build up of issues if an air spring starts to leak, it's a bit like a punctured tyre.
 
Thank you - I had ferreted around but had not come across this post - ran a copy of that and the RR EAS sheets.
Will run copies later - makes it easier when at unit.
Had tested compressor for the high temp fuse link etc all good and then tested output which was feable. So got the XR8 kit and rebuilt.
Rebuilt it - no issues and looked good - air is improved but not as high pressure as described in post so I dont know whats up.
Maybe tear it down again and see if something messed in process. Maybe I didnt seat set screw correctly on piston?
Cylinder was good and replacement "piston seal" (?) was good and tight??
Will have to decipher by degree some of Wammer's post but some good points to test. And garner a clearer understanding.
Though it may have to wait until after the Victoria Day long weekend now.
Cheers,

The NRV and O ring in the head may be faulty so letting the pressure back on the piston down stroke.
