Go to Atlantic Britiash and read up on the 3 that they offer, this will give you an idea of the differences. Most people aren't technical enough to benefit from anything more then the mid quality scanner.
By the way, none of these will read SRS, SL<, or ABS codes. Need to get up to the $700 price range for that.

I got this one http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EQU-3100 off of ebay a couple years ago for around $75 if I remember correctly. Reads the code, provides definition (ex. Code #, Bank 1 beyond threshold) and allows you to erase it. Works very well and is simple to use. Been thinking about getting rid of it eventually and upgrading to a more capable model such as this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...06CFT5P29KGH13
or something that would allow me to read individual sensor output. Innova has several different models for your needs.
Whatever you purchase make sure it works for Land Rover. http://www.equus.com/ Features like ABS etc. may not work for LR.

Here is the one that I bought, only I bought it from "Mechanic Doctor"
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBD-I...motiveQ5fTools
Same exact scanner and accessories.
Same price too.
I am pleased with it.
It will also read electronic transmissions.
