Anyone interested in diagnosing L series faults via OBD port?

That do it yeah ?

Which would you recommend for my prob and best place to get one please

None if you are looking at buying one. You can do more with a nanocom than you can with any of those I listed and for a lot less money.

Snapon diagnostics do 99% of cars on the road so cost a lot more. £1k to £6k

hmmm sorry to take the thread off topic a little bit wonder about the mt2500 theres loads on ebay

If it has landrover on the cartridge then I don't see why not.

multimeter or oscilloscope. The later is better for reading speed sensors

£150 gets a snap on mt2500 geared up and ready for freelanders . Anybody want to form a cooperative and share ?

 

[matt1295]

i was under the impression that snap on equipment wasnt the best

was at the garage last week and there verus wouldnt connect to the ABS and the verus is a newer scanner than the mt2500

Bugger

Told a by supplier he could supply one totally kitted up for Landys and tailored for Freelander

 

[matt1295]

dnt get me wrong it read engine but not much but that was it

and i can only say what information that i no and have come across

 

[matt1295]

im about to buy a hawkeye end of the week/ nextweek

if im wrong please anyone tell me coz id rather spend money on a tool i can use more than just my freelander

 

[Dinks]

Hawkeye will do it it's just too expensive for me but its the best tool to get

 

[matt1295]

yeah being saving for a while for the hawkeye but thats only because i was told snap on scanners didnt work the abs and stuff

id rather have a snap on gear as i do work with mates on there cars so would be a useful tool for me to own but not if it doesnt work mine as mines more important lol

 

[Dinks]

Your dead right not sure why but this old Landy has gotten under skin love it to bits , my grandson nicknamed her Hetty and its stuck

 

[matt1295]

You sure it wasn't cos they were using the incorrect personailty key? It could also have been a complete loss of communication between the ecu and the abs systen which means it can't be read. Have you ever tried watching tv without plugging it in first? same difference.

 

[Dinks]

Your luckyy wife loves the car and calls me that piece of crap inside 😀

 

[matt1295]

all they said was it connected to abs but when tried to read anything it just lost communications

had that at 2 garages where they use snap on gear
