The compressor will not tick on unless the engine is running.

 

So it has to aligned with the engine running?

 

The compressor has no need to run during an alignment, as the height should not be adjusting, and will change every reading and adjustment already made if it does.

It should not run without the engine running.

The power supply for programming is so keep battery voltage up to a safe level for module communication. Voltage will drop when everything is on and working when the key is turned on. I do not recommend trying to do anything, even just clearing faults, with the engine running.

IDS is a great tool, but can be a real pain to learn how to use correctly, if you have questions once you get into it, ask before playing around, as there is stuff that you can create issues by doing. Also note, you will not have the most up to date software, so some updates will still need to be done by someone that does, the big one that comes to mind is the software for the new AMK compressor.

 

Yep. I didn't fully read the tsb. It says you can disconnect everything after placing the system in tight tolerances mode. So the power supply is just for the programming.

What issues are you having? You need to be running a clean install of XP on a Core 2 processor with 2 gigs RAM. Clean as in fresh, new, not partitioned, no other programs other than explorer and adobe reader. The driver install was tricky for some reason. I installed v131 SDD and Calibration Files which was the last SDD that doesn't require an internet connection.

 

I guess I need the software, and a talk through the trick of getting it to not try to login the the Land Rover site.

I got your PM, hopefully we can work it out and I can get it working.
