Each tool is coded to a particular VIN number, which restricts it's use on other vehicles to basic diagnostics and resets etc, so you can use your tool to read the codes on other D3's but you can't perform some of the advanced diagnostic & calibration features such as coding new keys and calibrating the air suspension etc. The pro version of the tool as used by garages etc can work on any D3, but this costs considerably more.

I know it works on other Land Rover models and thought it may be universal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matgriff Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Not sure why you were told it's not safe to drive ? The pipe can be replaced without removing the body or the gearbox, but it's a tricky job. There is an excellent write up and plenty of info on the Disco3 forum.
