    Engine data scan or EDS tool anyone used one on a 2012 0nwards defender

    Hi Everyone, I am new to all this and the world of Land Rover's. I bought a 2013 defender last year and have been setting it up.
    I was wondering if anyone has used the EDS scan tool that 4wd Action are flogging? I am after a review really!!


    Cheers Jason

    I have a scangauge 2 which is almost exactly the same unit as the EDS. Works on my 2013 defender, Will clear fault codes and check engine lights. Proper coolant temp readout is handy to

    Hi Jason and welcome...

    Firstly.. I would suggest changing your forum name (speak to a mod) or you'll be getting a tonne of spam once a search engine finds it!!!

    Look at better stuff like Nanocom, IID or even consider a BAS RRS2 unit - does fault reading, and remapping -

    Hi Guys and thanks for the advice!
    I bought the EDS anyway as it was $150 with a dirty gear bag and 10 issues of the mag. I spoke to my mechanic he said its useful as a multi gage as the defender is a little basic in that way.
    When it arrives I will see how it goes. Once its out of warranty I will look into a remap or chip and the scan tools you suggested. I had a 09 BT50 that I chipped up to 147kw and got about 12% saving on fuel. It was only $130 and made in Germany, didn't void the warranty either.
    Land rover aren't so keen on mods under warranty, they don't even like an auxiliary fuel tank going in.
    Cheers
