Default Foxwell Diagnostic tool?

Has anyone here ordered one of these:
Land Rover FULL SYSTEM PROFESSIONAL Diagnostic Scan Reset Tool - Foxwell NT510 | eBay

I need to get the codes for ABS amigo issues as well as bleeding the brake ABS system and this is the only reasonably priced one that will do it?

thanks for the help

I can spend the 250 for this rather than 600 for a hawkeye if it works

John

================================================== ==========

UPDATE

I got the scanner all the way from Asia in about 5 days. The shipping was free! I can report that I was able to successfully turn off the 3 amigos as well as bleed modulate the ABS pump. I just had 2 new calipers put on and all new rotors and we bled the brakes the old school way and since then I have had the 3 amigos , first few times I could clear them by restarting the car but then finally the ABS just stopped working altogether and the lights stayed on.

This scanner was a little tough for me to install the Land Rover specific files on to but that is mostly due to me being a mac user and had to use an old Windows laptop of that was my wife's to get it completed. The struggle was worth it !

you can get the Hawkeye total from rimmer bros in the U.K. for around $300 and that's the new Hawkeye total that does every Land Rover vehicle up till model year 2015

the hawkeye description at Rimmer (my god who would call their shop RImmer Brothers?) is so sparse, does it program new keys etc and power bleed? etc, the Foxwell seems to do Everything

That link doesn't really provide any info about whether or not it can be used to activate vehicle functions such as would be needed to bleed the ABS system. The text on the back of the box is very non-specific.

Let us know how it works out. For that price, it might be comparable if not equivalent to a lynx or Hawkeye.
