About £1K for L322, 3 times the price of a Nanocom for the P38.
Makes a Nanocom look cheap!

Check out Autoboss V30 diagnostic tool, I got one for £550 from Amazon delivered here ( Qatar) connected to most ecu's and cleared all the faults on one of my L322's, going to try on another tomorrow and my LR3, does live data as well, free updates, not vehicle locked or make specific and covers many other makes and models aswell so can help others, maybe not as in depth as BBS but good enough for me!

The L322 fault mate is a very clever piece of kit.
Does miles more than a nanocom as there's so many more variables with the L322 ECU's.
The fact you can program features that are only usually programed by Landrover is great.
So the price reflects this.
But for someone who just wants to read and clear faults then the MSV 2 would be overkill.
Wicked bit of kit !

Just curious: Why is that a questionable air leak? If you compressor is cutting out due to temp, then it is over-working which is a sign of an air leak. You've had 2 bags done, I'd get the other 2 done and the compressor seals too.
Or maybe I'm wrong....

You are right Nik, could also be the crosslink valves.

By the time you've added the VAT, delivery and paypal surcharge the Nanocom is now £408 at which point the Lynx starts to look pretty good value which is why I just bought one - haven't had time to look at it yet.

Have you had time to try out the lynx? If so how do you find it?
I live in rural France and as far as I can see for the price and the supposedly excellent package I need to find a reason not to go for it apart from people commenting on the quality of britpart stuff.

Don't forget the Lynx needs a laptop wheras the Nanocom does not.

Got a laptop and power converter for the car so not a problem but thanks for the heads up.Don't forget the Lynx needs a laptop wheras the Nanocom does not.
What I'm after is the most complete diagnostic kit for a reasonable price as a friend of mine is a mechanic and can do all the work if I get the right diagnostic kit. I'm not unreasonable, if I have to go for another system and pay a bit more then I will. Not many specialist 4x4 garages here and the nearest is an hour away so it will save me money in the long run. Just would like to know if there is anymore news on the lynx system.

It's good value but I think the nanocom is a more complete product. I can't see any obvious way to perform a resync which is an unforgivable ommission. Eas can be calibrated as per testbook but you cannot freely edit. So you need easunlock unless you own some calibration blocks. And finally you cannot force the calibration of the blend motors. Lynx is good value but britpart must fix these glaring omissions.

Faultmate is the gold standard, Nanocom Evo does almost as much for less cash but has only the small built in screen, also it is not VIN locked.

I would like to get diagnostics for my P38a DSE, but totally confused as to what one to get as it would need to be idiot proof for me

There's no such thing as idiot-proof diagnostics. You have to understand what you're diagnosing and why, or you'll end up chucking parts at symptomatic "faults" just like the monkeys in the main dealers.

+1 but the simplest to use IMO is the Nanocom Evo

Ok. Thanks for the quick response which I didn't expect so went out for the afternoon and ended up at the bar.
I do not own some calibration blocks (whatever they are) and from what you have said about not being able to force the calibration of the blend motors or any obvious way to perform a resync. It appears that the nanocom at 350 and not being vin locked to one vehicle is the way to go. Thanks for all your help and at least I can now say yes to viewing x rated stuff on the laptop.

Dam and blast, it took me so long to reply to the other quote that I have just seen this. Will have to look at the faultmate now.Faultmate is the gold standard, Nanocom Evo does almost as much for less cash but has only the small built in screen, also it is not VIN locked.

very wise words and I like peanuts far too much. Lets hope I don't become just a monkey but a very wise one.
I doubt it as well.
Thanks all the same for your help. At least you should look at this as an investment for when you are going from France into Spain along the Atlantic coast you will know that I'm less than an hour away!

Two diagnostic outposts on the Western route in that case, I'm in Poitiers close to the A10

Haven't been on for a few days and is good to see someone else in bandit country. Will be passing you at the start of September, being dragged back to the UK for a couple of weeks.
Just bought a nanocom for the D2. Would have liked the lynx but I felt, right or wrong it may need a bit of time to get the bugs out.
