Is it possible that some "hard "faults which root cause has been repaired are not clearable via conventional diagnostic soft like smartscan, bosh scanner or other and need atteention of autologic or ids only?

Many diagnostic systems do not work with the Range Rover as it does not use standard OBD protocols.
Faultmate, Nanocom maybe Hawkey & Lynx do read and clear faults as does Testbook the LR diagnostic system.

All systems I have contact with using odb so different question :is it possible that some faults need to be remove only by authorised dealer soft or dedicated to "and rover like autologic or lynx?

Datatek has answered that.

Land Rover products use a bespoke unique protocol and as such only Land Rover based diagnostics will fully access all the systems.

A generic OBD scanner will do little on the Range Rover unless it is specifically programmed to the LR language.
