Hi

I've been searching the net (and read some previous forum posts about this [all are quite old]) and having spoke to someone today telling me that the product I was about to buy for Defender 90 2015 simply would be basically useless as the info it would provide would be very limited. Apparently the various diagnostic readers available really only cover earlier defenders / up to about 2013 / 14. And there seems to have been significant changes thereafter (so I'm told) to the defender systems. So, I really need something especially for longer journey's across Europe if I get a warning light (like I did this year!) I'd like if possible to at least get an idea of what is going on. I had a huge disruption to a trip this year, causing delay over a warning light, but once Landrover assistance came out, they told me really there was nothing to worry about - so, it is a kind of tool I'd like to have under the seat on trips just in case, but I've reached a dead end now re what to buy (at some kind of reasonable cost). I looked at the NCOM03 for the Puma and it says also up to 2014 defenders only. The much cheaper iCarsoft i930 I was told simply would not work with latest defender or if so would have such basic info & function to be not worth the purchase (and that was from the dealer). Has anyone got any ideas?

Thank you!

Regards
Jon
