Disco 3 (LR3) Britpart iid tool

Hi all,I'm thinking of investing in a code reader,does anyone know if the above are any good,
Thanks
Al,

I haven’t a clue if this is sold by Britpart, but gstuart seems to like this one.

It's marketed by Britpart in the UK, but it's actually a Gap Diagnostics IID BT, and yes they are excellent.

It's brilliant for the D3/4 as it covers pretty much everything you'll ever need to do.
It appears that the EAS calibration and stuff is now an extra, but when I bought mine it covered EAS calibration as part of the standard software.

Even so it's a good device, and so not a code reader, it's a programmer, with full diagnostic capabilities.

The BT version is all that's available from Gap Diagnostics now, as the none BT version was limited in functionality, and only worked with the D3 Ipack, so it was discontinued.

I'd avoid it TBH. I know 2 other people who have the non BT version, and both wish they'd sprung the extra for the BT version.

You can sometimes get the IID BT on offer for about £400, which is good value, and they hold their money on the second hand market too, often selling for £300-£350 second hand. If you buy second hand, you'll need to buy the license key for the vehicle you plan to use it on, which is another £50, so if you can find a new one (comes with a key) for £400, you'll be happy.

I had an IID for use with my D3, but it cost me an extra £50 to add my recent FL2 VIN to it. It's not as functional on the FL2, as it was on my D3, which is unfortunate.

Cheers for that ,I'll give it a miss then,

BT version all day long, 2nd hand 300/350, and I reckon they will always be worth good moiney used, so they will sell well when you move on, so defo not the cheapest but will retain the highest value for much longer.
