I just need that brick, I have the rest...
Here's about nanocom https://www.nanocom-diagnostics.com/downloads see the description guides, the shop and eventually the emulator.... i attached the function list for foxwell, it's cheaper but less "skilled" with complex programmingSierrafery,
Spent my time working on circuits and had little contact with any test equipment other than the C.A.R.D.'s system and its successor. So which test equipment would you use? Does the Nanocom come as one stand alone pice of equipment or are there several versions? I need to look at my Disco 2, my essentially modern 'Defender' aka my 1978 Series III, and my Series II rebuild is on a110 chassis but will have some L322 components and even some R800 bits; bit of an electrical mongrel really, but it should occupy my time.
I have never had to purchase any test equipment other than my oscilloscope therefore any guidance would be appreciated.
I doubt you'll get a new old-stock ECU now. Secondhand ones should be available but they will have risen in price since I bought mine, at £80. Try LR breakers as at least they will give you some (tiny) guarantee. If it is that rusty it sounds as if a PO did quite a bit of wading as they don't normally rust. When all this happened with mine I initially looked around for someone to repair it and there were a few places, but some turned out to be right cowboys, so in the end I took it off the one I had given it to, before they could do it more harm and just kept it.Stanleysteamer,
The more I work on my Disco II the more I think it was sold to me by Butch Caserdy or the Sundance Kid! The connector to the xyz switch was missing it's anti back out, the xyz switch was out of adjustment, the backlight on the odometer was broken etc. The ECU looks OK so I tried talking the lid off. Three of the screws came out easily but the forth sheared immediately and all were rusty, more than just a petiena of rust as well. The lid was well glued down, therefore I think there must be a considerable amount of corrosion on some, if not all, of the components. I have considered a new one but they are all 'out of stock'. Also there is a fault in that on kickdown the engine goes quite well until you pull out to overtake then it hiccups - not very comforting to drive like that so I will look for a good second hand one. But thank you for your thoughts it might be a good last ditch plan...
Go with nanocom to Td5 Engine - Utility - Learn security code then after it confirms it's learned the engine will run1/ The Engine and Body ECU's need to be linked such that they can hand shake efficiently. Not sure how to effect this?
Just to approach from a different link, I have just tried https://emulator.nanocom-diagnostics.com/ which worked just as Fery said, but in the web browser.Nether the emulator or indeed my Nanocom follow the path you have defined. I think those very helpful software types have invented a update version as they appear to like doing almost every hour...
OK, you are nearly there! From your page 1, click "TD5 Engine", then go to page 2 and you should seeI am sorry to disagree with Fery I can only assume that Nanocom reproduces the version we each have on the emulator as well as on the Nanocom itself. As mine was only registered this morning I feel that I would have the newer version. My page 2 has ACE + picture, D2 Autogearbox + picture and D2 airbag with picture - in red; nothing about utility.
PopPops,
Thanks for your input; I am open to any help. I believe my niece did download the required codes but she is having as much fun with this self important computer as I do i. e. it does what it wants witness some of my, predictive text, modified writings.
Sorry for large picture this Apple Mac has a mind of it's own!
