They use them on Disco3 with good reports back, but unless your going to be doing all the fixes yourself what's the point in it

also

DO NOT buy via eBay the seller sponsors Disco3 so you get a better price Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Was not thinking of getting one but just wondered if they actually work as described.

Althought when out of warranty, it could be useful. Don't put petrol in a diesel. They don't run well.

United Kingdom 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Izmir Blue

I have a hand held fault code reader and reset tool from sealey which i used on my prevous new shape bmw 3 series.you can check all fault codes,power train sensors and are able to reset service light etc etc.ive since plugged it in to my freelander 2 and was amazed at just how many sensors this vehical has,you can scroll through all the sensors and check everything from air flow meter to exhaust emisions.This tool The VS8650 gives clear, concise DTC definitions on its large back-lit LCD screen. This CAN enabled tool, retrieves generic P0, P2 and P3 and U0 codes for engine emissions and also picks up manufacturer specific P1, P3 and U1 codes. Unit then turns off MIL light, clears codes and resets monitors. Unit also stores freeze frame data for later evaluation and will also display monitor and I/M readiness status. Additionally, this tool will read and display the live ECU/PCM data stream, plotting selected functions graphically. It will give a live display of O2 sensor data and has a memory which enables on and off-line storage and playback of data. A built-in data library with lookup functions is also included. The tool is updateable via web-based downloads over the USB cable included with the scanner and will link with a PC enabling the print-out of stored data. Supplied in storage pouch. Requires 1 x 9V Battery.
Its a great tool to have so if theres a problem and you take it back to lad rover they cant pull the wool over your eyes and charge you a fortune for a problem that does not exit.Oh and as for the other chap.it dont check for the wrong oil being put in Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter
