If you're using a USB to Serial adaptor then you probably need to set the COM port number. On XP it seems to change every time you boot the machine (well it does on mine) so it's worth checking before you start the software. Are you getting an error relating to this when you start the software?

Have a look in Device manager -> Ports. The USB to serial adaptor ought to be fairly obvious and the COM port number should be displayed.

Start the software and change the COM port setting. Can't remember how off the top of my head as I'm at work, but it's quite obvious.

One of the videos P38a EAS Unlock Videos here should help.

Seems a bit odd that it's fixed itself - usually when it goes into fault mode it needs to be reset.

Still, fingers crossed...

i have ordered a new diagnostic lead and software off e-bay for possible future use.as i say she is booked in for wednesday to be on safe side.previous form tells me never to be complacent with her.many thanks for helpful links anyway

Thanks for the reply. Yes i have checked my coms ports etc all ok, Havent got a clue what to do now as i dont even think range rover will be able to plug in.
