I was reading over on the Australian Land Rover Owners forum, and someone posted a link to a list of members of the forum that have diagnostic equipment that they would be willing to use to help other members. Members with diagnostic equipment I think this is a pretty good idea. Perhaps we can start a similar list here. That way if you have an ABS scanner, fan clutch tool, transmission jack, or something else that you'd be willing to let someone borrow or come over and use they can find you.

I'm in the northwest corner of Arkansas and have the following items:

nanocom evo with codes for V8 disco 2 and LR3 (won't loan out, but you can come use it or if you are close I might come to you if you are immobile)

hawkeye with codes for disco 2 and disco 3 / LR3. (Same deal as above)

6 CFM A/C vacuum pump (though it's quite old...might only be 1 CFM now for all I know).

I own 33% of a two post lift, but would probably need permission from the owner of the shop building to let people use it. He might want a small fee?

 

I think this is a great idea. Wish I had something valuable to offer! Haha Unless you want some cheap harbor freight tools...

 

I have a fan clutch tool, and a pretty broad selection of general hand tools. I'm in northwest Georgia. As far as the fan clutch tool though, you can rent them pretty cheap from O'Reilly or Advance.

 

I have a set of Phillips Screw Drivers and a pair of Vice Grips! Near Sacramento, CA.

Just kidding, this is a great idea. I've often wanted to meet people with special scanners and such for my wife's VW, but now I've got my own.

I've got BASIC OBD Scanners, Equus, ELM Bluetooth with Tablet, and UltraGauge.

Anyone with a Key Fob Programmer near Sacramento CA?

 

I've got a Nanocom Evolution from Blackbox Solutions.

It does a lot but of primary interest might be:
- reading slabs faults
- resetting 3Amigos
- programming keys for remote lock etc
- switching from air to coil shocks and vice versa
- reading transmission fault codes
- changing security settings (turning off volumetric air sensors so you can keep a sunroof open in the summer or leave your dog without setting the car horn alarm)

I'd be willing to meet and help someone local, (in the greater Everett-Seattle-Tacoma metro area) but I'm not going to lend it out or send it anywhere.

Cheers,

Thomas

 

That's really generous twaszak. I've got a brother in Shelton, WA. If I ever save up enough money to afford the gas to get there in my Disco, I'll see if you are available for a Key Fob programming. Won't be any time soon, fyi.

 

Come on people, there have to be more people out there with hawkeye, nanocom, iid, faultmate, allcoms, abs amigo, or other cool stuff to help out your local land rover driving brothers and sisters!

 

I've got a hawkeye. I'm in Reno, NV until December then I'll be moving to Seattle. Always willing to help some one out locally if they need it.

 

I don't have ant special tools but I am always willing to help with projects. I have a full garage. I'm in Tacoma.

Would you be willing to meet up and flash out some amigos for me?
