After looking around and searching on here etc it seems the nanocom is the diagnostic tool to have for a td5 d2.Is Blackbox the only supplier of these? And is the nanocom evo better to have? Before I commit to spending hundreds of like to know I’m investing in the right tool for the job also...

just recieved my v5 back for my td5 adventurer on 51 plate. V5 states the revenue weight as “2880kg Gross” Now,is this meant to mean the unladen weight?
