Foxwell NT530 Vin
I always wondered if the NT-530 model was only geared towards newer vehicles though the Disco 2 is on there.
I’ve seen corrosion inside the SLABS unit on the circuit board and on the connector pins. You can easily open up the SLABS unit by removing 2 allen/hex head screws and look for corrosion or a broken/burnt trace or components.

Just wanted to update this thread as I went through the same thing with my NT530. I was about to return it and just order an NT510 or NT520.
I sent a message to Foxwell and they actually updated the Land Rover software and provided me with a new working .bin file to replace the old one on the SD card for the scanner. The original file to replace is located in Vehicles > Europe > LandRover or something like that. BTW, Foxwell has like 6 different ways to contact them, the one that worked for me was sales@foxwelltool.com.
It still won't automatically read the VIN (not a big deal), but the "VIN error" buttons are now fixed and the ABS bleeding should work now.
I've attached the file for anyone who needs it. Hope this helps!
