Thread: diagnostic

just a quick one for those in the know, which is the choise of diagnostic tool for d2 hopefully upgradable to l322 rangie down the track. hawkeye or rovacom? any other sugestions accepted ive got two td5's inb the family along with a soft dash(not relevant for this) but a view for another rangie latter with a wish for a td5 90"

I have a few bits of diagnostic gear for my Puma, Hawkeye, Nanocom, MSV2 and VCM/IDS. Each of them essentially do the same job, some better than others. My advice is to check how much it would cost to have one tool to do all your vehicles present and future. The initial purchase cost of a tool can seem quite good until you start adding new vehicle module licences which can really escalate the cost. Looking at your vehicle list I would probably opt for two tools, the Nanocom evo for the D2/Td5's and then probably a BBS MSV2 for the L322 as it gives good capability and BBS actively invest time and money into keeping their diagnostic software current and you also get access to the MSV2 tool owners forum for help and advice.
