It sure is, following on form your earlier thread, you can see the readings from the sensors.
If you decide to work on the system, remember to disconnect the battery first.

Fanatic... I'm fairly committed, but in truth don't have much car repair experience. I figure that considering a dealer visit is pricey, I may as well.
Biggeeee.... do you mean to disconnect battery when working on suspension? Or do you mean when working with nano com?

We have three Landies in the family, two D2's and a 110 CSW.
We looked at Nanocom and Hawkeye, bought Hawkeye and has saved its cost a few times over in a year.

Not yet, and as Philip has gone to coils and mine is already on coils, I probably won't upgrade for now.
Thanks for the tip, appreciate it.

I recently got a nanocom for my 2000 td5 disco, its saved me alot of time and money already as was able 2 diagnose faults without replacing parts I didnt need 2. The best thing with nanocom is u can record live data on a sd card and transfer 2 laptop.

D2 is not OBDII compliant, so go for nanocom or hawkeye, your choice...nanocom can do some more things and record data but might have small "glitches" wityh BCU or SLABS, not 100% reliable(i'd say 90%), hawkeye is on testbook T4 protocol, 100% reliable and imo easyer to use but can't record data...i have them both and use hawkeye for diagnostic and nanocom for live data or key programming if needed.

My evolution was working fine, then occasionally it would be able to communicate with the ECU but this was rarely,
Now it boots to Kernel, Firmware, Graphics, Nanocom Diagnostics
Kernel goes to ‘Kernel bootloader activated and switches the unit off
The firmware option requires a numeric code as does graphics?
After going the diagnostic route you can enter the main programme where you find:
Three vehicle options:
DEFENDER
DISCOVERY II
R-ROVER P38
I use the R-ROVER P39 option which leads to:
Another 3 options:
GEMS
MOTRONIC
EDC
I chose EDC
then a blue screen and no further options.
So in effect I am locked out.
