, you lot all need to calm down, and just for the record i have no idea, just open to try and work with new stuff, there isnt enough old land rovers for everyone, and even if there was, some of us need to reach our destinations sometimes.... not telling anyone they dont already have it
Nothing personal and don't take this the wrong way it's a genuine question. Do you already have this different skill set or is it something you need to learn?
Half the battle is getting the information to be able to read the data you are looking at. I am quite confortable with writing hex code straight to memory the problem is getting hold of the manuals that tells you what bit of the code does what. The same is true of the millions of data bits flying around the data bus. If you have access the manuals I am sure you will have cake and biscuits coming your way from all corners of this forum. And your point about knowing your car will get you there, yes on most occasions modern cars will get you there, the problem is when they do break down you can't just get you tool box out of the boot and fix it like we could in the old days
My tool box used to be a small socket set and a bunch spanners and pliers.
Disco 1, I added a big hammer and a welder.
Disco 2, I added a dignostics
L322, I added a second diagnostics and recently an ocilloscope for when things get serious.
Shhh - he’s 67 but we play along
Nursey says it’s easier
Like i said mate, i have no idea, i learnt to write simple code in college but its something too work on, however i am lucky that i have a mate who does a lot of work on that side of vehicles so i have an easy way out there.
In terms of new cars getting you there, just a little joke my friend, as a guy whos cars DPF broke under 1000 miles after i bought the bloody car (not user error before anyone says), i get theres still a long way too go
aye i will do, although it seems too me it might take a fair while to get anything done at the minute.
Don't laugh, if I'd been given one of these as a kid I may not be quite as ignorant as I am now when it comes to electrickery!
There's the rub, when these modern cars go wrong they are almost unfixable. Garages just keep swapping ECU's blindly at £1k a shot so you need deep pockets if you cannot DIY. I read a recent report of a guy who had bought a new L494, in the first 12 months he had had less than 3 months use out of it ending up returning it as unfit for purpose.Nothing personal and don't take this the wrong way it's a genuine question.

So, unless you have a good knowledge of Evoke electronics, (I'm happy to admit I do not) do not try to wire in your light bar to the cars lighting system. Your safest option is to take a feed direct from the battery positive via fuse and a switch, that will more or less guarantee no error messages or other adverse effects. Just in case you do not know, you light bar is most probably illegal for road use but I'm sure that's not what you want it foroh aye, believe me im not rushing, if you go back to the start i was only asking for the light bar and too see if its even possible to lift the thing
i think you might be right, but again luckily i've got a bit of outside help so we'll just have to see what works best when it comes round too it, cheers for the advice thoughSo, unless you have a good knowledge of Evoke electronics, (I'm happy to admit I do not) do not try to wire in your light bar to the cars lighting system.
