Nano was £200 from a chap in Stoke that sold his P38 and didn't need it anymore

Lucky then! I always thought they were tied to the vin number

Mukiwa · Jan 6, 2019

I don't think so, but I did email Blackbox and tell them I'd bought it. Don't remember giving VIN codes - but that doesn't mean I didn't hahaha

Nanocom is not tied to vin number but you have to have the licence for your vehicle (basically, diesel, thor or gems for p38)
As far as I know, faultmate has more functionality for things like unlocking BECM but is very expensive and needs a laptop.
For vast majority of people on here, nanocom is the only choice really.
Not cheap but worth every penny.

If you have a later Land Rover you can also flash the ECU with Nano. Shame it can't be done on a P38 M51

Wazzajnr · Jan 6, 2019

Just a shame it doesn't do the early l322. One of the reasons I've not changed to a later car is because I wouldn't want to be without nanocom!

You have a good memory mate that was some years ago.

I have the faultmate MSV-2 Extreme, bought off ebay for £150 with the box, CD, cables email to BBS and got it registered to my VIN for £47. IIRC. just emailed them to ask about adding the incoming L322 to the licence.

IIRC to open the MSV-2 extreme to all its about a grand in licencing costs. if I was buying new or again I would probably go for a nanocom purely because the MSV-2 is VIN tied. it is excellent though

You can get the Faultmate MSV 2 with open licences for the software and you do not have to buy all modules. My Faultmate is not VIN tied so will do all systems on EGR diesels and most systems apart from the engine on other P38's. I don't have the EAS module as I prefer the RSW software.
Nanocom didn't exist when I bought the Faultmate, or I would have bought one.

BBS quoted £675 to add the L322 to my faultmate.

I'm still on the floor

Cost me just over £700 new

But has been worth it's weight in gold. Have you looked at BBS's new Android based diagnostics? Not sure if it covers your L322 as I can't access the BBS site anymore, my computer is too old.

A new Faultmate MSV2 unlocked for all the vehicles it covers costs €13,683.81. I'll stick with my Nanocom.

Covers a hell of a lot of vehicles if you are in the trade

It does that's for sure. But a lot of pennies for an happy amateur. Remember the Suntune diags we had on Triumph/Rover back in the day. Things have changed a bit. It took two people to move the bloody thing around.

wammers · Jan 7, 2019

A bloke used to come round and service the Suntune unit, can't for the life of me remember his name now. But he was a very very famous at the time motorcycle racer.

Which is why I said George Formby.

Ca+ I'm guessing is Calcium then? My battery is one of those. Oh how I miss mixing up acid and checking S/G and then finding my trousers have more holes than Swiss cheese later in the day
