Open the drop down panel under the steering wheel/column.
The OBD-II plug socket is on the left hand side bottom corner, and points slightly towards the centre console.

Obviously I'm missing something....does it have a cover? Where would the OBDII be?

Just been outside and taken a pic for you.
No, no cover. Just kind of there.
You don't need to open the fusebox cover/panel under the steering wheel, it's lower than that, sorry....

Its the dirty grey plug thing in that black strip of trim!

Still on the drivers side, next to the centre console, just above where your left knee would be if driving, unless of course your ambidextrous!!

Hope that helps....

Cheers,

They are the beers I'll buy you when we meet on the road somewhere!

I've pulling my hair out looking inside behind the cover - never occured to look below it! Mystery solved and Scangauge II to be ordered! thanks again.

No worries, glad I could help!

And I'll hold you to you those beers.....!!!

(in fact I'll need them just so I can re-pay everyone else who's helped me!!)

LOL!!

Hey Geko, can you tell us whether the Scangauge II works? I've seen conflicting posts on here as to whether it works with the Disco 2 or not.

The td5 and v8 have different levels of OBDII support. There was no requirement for diesels to provide OBDII support until 2004, whereas the v8 supported OBDII from launch.

On the td5 you can access a tiny subset of OBDII pids - rpm, road speed, water temp, calculated load and voltage.

If you check back you'll find the conflicting reports will split fairly neatly into v8 and td5.

The above applies to all generic OBDII tools.

Cheers

Definately works on V8. Give the guys that distribute them a call (they're in the Blue Mountains, just before Lithgow) their details are on their Ebay listings. They are really helpful and helped me configure one in a non listed (and apparently unsupported) vehicle over the phone.

I believe Pinelli owns a TD5. As I said the reports of OBDII tools on D2's are split into V8=Work and TD5=No Work. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. It's not a matter of adjusting configs, TD5's only present an extremely limited range of OBDII data.
