Hello All!
It was recently recommended to me to buy a diagnostics tool of some sort or another, if i was going to be keeping the td5 for a while, and keep it in fine fettle. Well i went for the plunge and bought a Lynx (labelled as BritPart), and i have to say i couldn't be happier with it..

You need a laptop, but you can plug it all in and take it for a drive, and see exactly whats doing what. I have a defender, so have no rev gauge or anything. I was able to read engine rpm, air flow, inlet temp etc etc whilst driving along, so i knew at any given speed exactly what was going on! Brilliant!!

Im sure most of you know this already, but i just thought id share with you my first play with it, and to highly recommend it. Island 4x4 are the best price around if you are interested! Now brace yourselves for all the annoying questions regarding fault codes! :rolleyes:

Cheers! :)
 
Yea I got one as well, seems pretty good - one thing I haven't figured out is how to play back the recorded data without plugging it back into the vehicle - doesn't seem to be possible.
 
Hi bud! Yeah I have the same dilemma! Just deleted all of my fault codes, and after 250miles only my egr closed has come back, so its all good and I'm happy!! :)
 
Had a play with mine today took it out for a live test for the first time, do you know how to test the egr or check if it's working with live data? Thanks
