just wondering what do people use for reading codes geting live data from there landrovers. been looking to invest in some kind of software
 
Nanocom evo on the D2.

Buug hammer on the 90 300tdi.

May help if you state what the vehicle and engine is for what you want to look at..

Cheers
 
its for a l322 tdv8. obd2. wasnt a pacific question for certain model just what people use in general. more intrested in what obd2 readers are being used but all info on all models is helpful. if not for he then someone else
 
The reason @neilly asked about the vehicle and the engine, and I'll ask about the year of manufacture is that there was some confusion regarding code readers, particularly for the diesel Discovery 2 until mid-2004 when the Disco 3 was released on the unsuspecting public. Until then, only the petrol versions were compatible with OBDII protocols. I'm unsure whether that situation applied to other Land Rover vehicles including Range Rover.
When you're investigating the market possibilities, do bear in mind that the sellers will never mention the differences between petrol and diesel, consequently many people do get caught out when they buy such items as the iCarSoft device.
 
mines 2006. all obd2 software seems to read it. ive been toying with a delphi software. they seem good for live data and resonably priced. seems a code just isnt enough to diagnose issues these days. noticed some jaguar/landrover software on ebay to. bonus of the delphi is i can read most cars with it

hi

May i just throw another diagnostic reader in the mix please , if u want a really good diagnostic reader get one made by gap called an iid, fantastic bit of kit and will allow u to do virtually the same as the dealers testbook T4

the bluetooth version will allow u to use ur iphone or ipad

alas they are around £420 but pays for itself very quickly , have enclosed a link, if u scroll down, put ur make and year in it will show u what it can do and at least gives u a comparison of other readers u may be interested in

I've got the lynx.

Its pretty amazing, you can read codes, clear them, live test actuators and electric circuits, code key fobs and injectors.

The only downside is you need a laptop to use it with, but you get a nice big, easy to read screen because of it!

You can buy it for your model and then purchase other models if/when you want to! :)
