GAP IID Tool seems to be the recommendation from those in the know. Not cheap, but worth every penny.

The GAP IID is the cat's whiskers no doubt of that but if you can't afford or dont want to spend such money this https://www.scantool-direct.co.uk/foxwell-nt510-multi-system-scanner-land-rover-jaguar-version.html IMO is better than hawkeye, i've seen one in action and i was surprised how comprehensive iit is, even made a test with it on my BCU and SLABS and worked on those too, see the function list which is downloadable from that page

Ok folks thanks for that, I'll read about these today. I assume with things like testing water temperature sensors etc its a multimeter?
As an aside I have a slight cold running issue, the disco starts at say 0c, but will cut out unless I put my foot on the throttle a little and run it for a minute at say 1000 RPM, that's the 1st issues on my list.

The main advantage with the IID tool is joining the D3/4 forum as there isnt a problem they havent seen/fixed and know the IID inside out.
Plus the 2nd hand resale value is very good, at least 75 percent of its new cost, meaning after you sell the D3 the tool is still worth 300 quid so works out top tool on the cheap.
Make sure you get the bluetooth version, free to download app can be used on your phone or tablet.

may i ask what year is ur D3 plse , u might have a faulty egrs , but once ur code reader turns up it should give u a fault code
