I am wondering what it is I need to buy to be able to read faults and reset lights etc for a 2001 discovery 2, I read it somewhere and it wasn't an OBD reader it was something else.
Secondly The side marker light on the front fender has come loose and before I break it trying to fix it can somebody explain how it is held in place please.
thanks guys and all the best.

 

I need to buy something soon as I want to work on my LR2 until its in the best shape possible. I don't want to waste money on obd2 I want one that is meant for our rovers. I know their are a couple out there, I want the best one that offers the most. please chime in, I don't want to regret buying something just because I didn't ask the right people for advice

 

Your thinking of either an Hawkeye or a Nanocom, or possibley the autocom.

 

I did a ton of research last fall and settled on this Autel unit. Main reason is it is supposed to be one of very few that will read and clear the ABS related three amigo codes. After doing the modulator mod, it cleared the codes with no problems. Otherwise reads all the basic codes you would expect and will do SRS too but not for Land Rover. Anyway, one of the more economical units that will do Land Rover specific manufacturer codes. Bought mine on Amazon for about $150 I think. Hope this helps.

Edit- just realized after reading your second post that you are looking for a more specialized device as ralphobell cited above.

 

Thanks for the replies, please keep info coming. Here is where my wife and I sit. We love 2 vehicles, Saabs, will buy another soon for around town, they have never let us down, we only ever buy used so that says a lot for the saabs. We just recently bought the LandRover and we are getting the same feeling from it, it is a special vehicle, one that will get us where we need to go, and still be able to do more then we will ever ask of it. It is like a saab in that I feel as if they enjoy it when they are worked on, almost for lack of a better term, they have soul. Therefore we have decided that even if this one had something go wrong we would buy another. So, I want to piece of equipment that will do everything, I do not want to look back a year from now and say, DAMN I should have just gone all out and bought "X" because it would have done this and that. SOOOO, Let me know what you would buy for a home garage, not professional $10000 machines but one that you know is solid, accurate and can do more then needed.
Cheers guys

 

Get the Hawkeye.

Under $600 and if you decide to get other LR's in the future it will work on them...just need update it.

 

i would also say the Hawk-eye, the only down side to the Hawk-eye is you must pay for programming for each additional model. for instance i now have 2 DII, it will read both.
but i had to pay for additional programming for my p-38 Gems. so if you use it on a lot different models it can add up. but it is a wonderful tool

 

Take a look at the Nanocom Evolution. News



It's $417 USD + Shipping...
