Which diag tool is for me?

My suspension inactive warning came on again on Friday. I've stripped the compressor down and rebuilt it as per the wiki with new ring.

Plugged it all in and connected battery and now I have no lights on the EAS. ive steering lock to locked it and battery disconnected it but nothing is bringing these lights back on

I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a diag tool but don't know which one to get. Iid rsw hawkeye etc. Will nav coder do something like this?

My display on the speedo isn't the best so I don't think I could properly use one that works via the speedo display.

I want software that will let me adjust the EAS height settings also. As I'd like the lowest setting to go a tad lower. Can each height setting be set or if I lower the lowest by 60mm for example will lower all settings by 60mm

Thanks n advance

You can do what you want with the RSW (but it would be a bit of a fiddle and kludge) much easier with IIDTool but if your message display is borked you will have problems.

Recommend get pixel display sorted and get an IIDTool .

Get the pixels fixed and go for IID... I bought one in April and has been the best investment... Thumbs Up Mike.

you have no lights on the eas because your e.c.u is on lock mode,your most probably riding at the lowest setting at the moment or whats called bump stops,your suspension air bag is not filling up due to the compressor not working so the weight of the range is resting on the bump stops..don't take my word for it but only way round of a lock mode is a L.R visit and a hook up,where the compressor can be re coded and all the fault code removed,but if the compressor is at fault then few months down the line you're going to be back in the same place again,best thing would be to get a 2nd hand recon unit or a new one from L.r with a new relay and get them to re code the new compressor up,your old unit will be taken in as a surcharge...its human nature to try and fix what sometimes we think is an easy fix but no such thing when it comes to the range rover,more like a temp fix,if its broken bite the bullet and replace it or the head ache will be back...

Hi Paul,
If reading and clearing codes is what you are after, it will go quite well, I am sure. BBS has solid products. But comparing the IIDTool to the FCR is a little skewed: the FCR reads and erases fault codes. The IIDTool is a full diagnostic system that reads and clears codes, shows live values, controls outputs, performs service routines, edits the car configuration file CCF, flashes SW, etc.

There is actually very little that separates the IIDTool from the BBS Faultmate MSV. And the differences are shrinking each day...
To see in detail what can be done, enter your vehicle in the functionality list and click the down arrows in the chart to open sub-menus: http://gap-diagnostic.com/products/iidtool.html

If you have any questions, feel free to PM or mail (support at gap-diagnostic dotcom)

All very true Steve. But at the moment, I'm skint & the Faultmate was only £100! If you can do me one of yours for that price then I'll go and fire up the paypal account right now!

Very Happy

That is an unbeatable price Paul. And when you sell it on ebay, you can take that profit and put it towards your IIDTool. Laughing

Joe - seriously - we can not do bt because it requires a new board, but there will be Win and Mac controller apps coming.

Our main focus in development will remain with the tablets, tho, both iOS and Android.

We will be making some bigger product announcements in the coming days Whistle

I was surprised to see his update. I thought he had given up on it. Having said that, I note the update has removed the Discovery and P38 fault find. Sneaky!
