Default obd and app

My Disco does NOT have OBDII listed on the engine sticker... am I going to get ANY useful data if I get Torque and a plug in code reader? Is anyone with OBDI using Torque and a reader?

If it's 96 and up it's OBDII and yes you will get useful (to us) data from the app. You'll get codes and can then use this site to tell us what your problem is..... Land Rover OBD Trouble Codes ?

94/95 Disco's are OBDI, they have a LED code box under the passenger seat, don't even need a reader...... We gots noth'n.

I am fine, thanks!

Will I only get trouble codes, though? Can I get all the cool mpg stats and stuff? Temps? That's what I want.

All fine here, redid rear brakes and bled 'em the other day. I think that's all that's new. How's by you?

Most apps provide real time monitoring. I happen to use OBD Fusion on a iphone with a wifi dongle (iphone doesn't like Bluetooth). I've heard good things about the Torque app on Android via a Bluetooth connection as well.

Both types of dongles are

Ha! not sure what happened there. I was gonna say that both types of dongles are available at Amazon and less than $20. Add $5 for the app and you've taken a step forward in maintenance, prevention, and diagnosis.
