Hi guys. I already had a thread here on the three amigos, on my 2001 Disco 2 td5, so don’t want to go over that again! What I would simply like to know please, is if there is an alternative to either the Nanocom or the Hawkeye diagnostic equipment......both of which are way outside my price range. Something which will read and clear those amigo codes. I was kindly offered the use of a Nanocom, but at a considerable distance from where I am, so rather impractical. And also, if the amigos come back again subsequently, I’m no better off. There are numerous threads on the forum, but I can’t find a definitive answer as to what current alternative diagnostic device, if any, will definitely do what I need for my vehicle?

Any advice please?
 
Depending where you are in SW France, I have a neighbour with a Nanocom who seems very willing to lend it. Already unlocked for Disco TD5, or, as @sierrafery says a Foxwell will do it, and I speak from experience as mine did my 3 amigos problems.
 
Hi. Search around for Foxwell NT520/or 530/or 510 Elite for Land Rover which ever you find cheaper, it will do the job for ABS and decent coverage for other systems except the engine management where it's not very reliable but better technical support and updates like other similar tools... https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/diagnostic-tool.367441/#post-5073628
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Yep I've seen the Foxwells elsewhere here....... and you list three......so I still need to know which one of them will work best for the 3 amigo problem ie: the ABS unit?? Or is there nothing to choose between them, other than price??

Thank you. I think you responded before with offer of your neighbour......but it's a long way from me! Which model Foxwell did you have success with?

Mine is an old model now, a "professional 520" I think without going and getting it out of the Landrover.
Have a look on their website.

AFAIK those modells are pretty the same as functionality when it comes to the D2, maybe some differencies with Jags or newer LRs even though they get updates so it's all about price IMO
