Hi
Im Looking at buying nanacom or hawkeye - I'm drawn to the hawkeye as it's a multi vehicle tool - I have a 2.5 p38 my mate has a 4.6 so we could go halves - is the nanacom worth the extra £,s as it only works on one vehicle - hoping someone can advise ?
Thanks In advance

Nanocom works on all P38 vehicles it is not bound to a vin number. But you would need the codes for the petrol engine.

I dont know how good this is but its over £100 cheaper than other places, and tbh looks like its a good bit of kit and will do most cars, and it has free updates

In general generic OBDII scanners do the engines only and do not cover manufacturer specific systems.
