hi, anyone know any of those 30 quid-ish fault code readers on ebay will actualy work on my 04 td5 defender- all I want to do is try and reset the three amigos (well, only 2 of them now- ones disappeared now!). they seem to come up in wet weather.I've read some threads about the subject and it appears some might work but which ones?what obd thingy do I need it to be compatable with?
 
I have a few of these cheap diagnostic ones...……... payyermoneyandtakeyerchance.com = sh!te

Surprisingly one worked on my m3 but wont work on anything else none of them worked on the td5
I have a nanocom which does everything do yourself a favour & invest in decent equipment ;)
 
Couldn’t agree more ref the cheap readers, waste of money and indeed always better to get a decent reader

Assume the TD5 isn’t OBD2 complaint either , so assume that will cut out cheap ebay readers, lol

Wonder about the Hawkeye total, ??

I have inspected/cleaned as many abs sensor joints as I can find but won't know if it has done any good until I reset the faults- or will it reset itself?.
love to be able to afford a decent reader but will be selling defender as soon as I have got it all together. just done all four springs and shocks, galvanised turrets to match galvanised chassis, 4x xeng door catches, the list goes on- just want to make sure its topline before I advertise it.
