Update - I restored my notebook to before I installed SDD 160_FULL.exe (still had the mongoose drivers in) and tried again using the SDD 159 from the CD that came with the Mongoose from CarTools (I copied that on a spare pc with the Virus protection turned off - to a USB and used that)- Then...

Well - I have got a clean 32bit load of W7 sp1 up and running on my Samsung N210 Plus notepad. I download the mongoose drivers and that all looks OK. I installed SDD 160.00_FULL.exe as suggested by CarTools. I can get it up and running but it stops saying "not connected to a network" - which is...

I had read about rusting pins etc so I fitted all new springs pins linings disk/drum and pads - still a crap handbrake but passed the MOT

Yeah - similar to my little Samsung - I just am a little nervous of it hanging halfway through something critical. Let's see what others have found

What hardware are you guys using? - Most old XP or W7 laptops would be way below what the minimum requirements called for on most sites to run SDD - do we really need 2.5Gh dual core +5gb ram? I have a Samsung N210 plus with an intel Atom processor which is single core hyperthreaded 1.6Gh, and...

Do you mean the one in past products - MongoosePro - JLR Setup Wizard J2534 ?

I had a reply from CarTool "You need to exit anti-virus software, then use our CD You can also download software from this link: http://diagnosticdelivery.jlrext.com/idscentral, download SDD 160.00_FULL.exe" I was not keen to disable any ant-virus so I followed the link and downloaded onto a...

Thanks guys - I need to sort out a dedicated laptop then I may probably be back for guidance if I have trouble following your advice so far - I'm no in a rush as my F2 ain't broke (touched wood)

Well - I followed your link to CarTool uk and the mongoose cable arrived quickly - but the cd that came with it immediately got flagged up with a virus so I stopped there. This was on my main pc. I just wanted to see what files and instructions there were as I have not reconfigured a laptop for...

Check the heat shield above the back box - it often comes loose on the F2 - needing bigger "penny washers" to hold it in place

A cheap way of getting two keys only in exchange for a slight reduction in security would be to buy a couple of key blanks on ebay - get them cut to match your one key - then tape your one good key under the plastic onto your ignition switch. The new inert keys will work for you as the car will...

On my '05 HSE TD4 Auto I cleaned out my manifold and fitted an EGR delete - but changed it back for the original, also cleaned out - for an MOT - after the MOT I just plugged the vac pipe and left it in - didn't notice any difference so left it like that knowing that my manifold etc would now...

Good excuse :rolleyes:

I just put it down to the extra load of turning the IRD over plus the front halfshafts etc - all correct lubricants in my machine and a VCU with excellent OWUT - it all turned OK but the vcu slipped a little as you would expect - doing it the other way there is less happening at the back so the...

Here's a f'r'instance - when I was checking my IRD gear ratio and I had one front and one back wheel jacked up to measure the difference after 20 turns - If I turned the front wheel I could have the back wheel turnng without the VCU slipping at all but if I turned the back wheel there was too...

I can tell you from experience that any change in method will introduce changes in results on this type of mechanical check - stick to a known method if you want to get meaningful comparative data

Well - On my 2010 FLTD4 Auto I developed a case of the alternator light coming on after about 16secs after startup - found various references to the blue wire onto the alternator from the loom under the fuel filter breaking and causing the smart charge to fail. Sure enough I got 12.4v at the...

Can you connect up a spare injector to the pipes and see how it fires the spray pattern (like you can on an FL1) - you could compare how it behaves in different positions - might help to eliminate mechanical problems.
