Depends on what you want to do...

Read standard basic DTC codes?

Or get into mfg specific programming functions?


The best, period, would be the JLR SDD software, which is of course very expensive... and it might even be worth it if you were going to do a lot of heavy mx.

You can also get things like these that provide more vehicle-specific functionality (but probably won't do everything the dealer software will):

Dodgy but free copy of JLR SDD and a clone Mongoose lead. Shouldn't cost more than £50, and gives dealer level diagnostic ability. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.

Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE.
