Hi DEFENDERZOOK,

here is some average figures:
- each unit cost is 200.00 GBP = 435.825 AUD
- delivery depends from mail type/company 40-60 GBP = 87-130 AUD
- some banks (or all of them) take currency convertion charge

so the best price comes to 522.99 AUD + bank charge.

Cheers,
Ruslan

OK, I am a day late reading this, so how do I get one now?

sounds great to me.......when is the sydney order happening.....?

i would like one too.......




i can finally check to see if lurch has any faults stored........

I'd be interested in a Sydney order also.
Sounds like a handy piece of kit.

Sorry to ask it, I am learning :)
Is this thing doing the same job than the one that you are talking about ?

Someone got an email from me today :angel:
That means I'll probably be in the Sydney order.

Just in case anyone needs assisting in convincing... I described it as "like a set of spanners for the ECU" :D:cool:

Chucaro - I am lead to believe that generic type of scanners can't do everything (anything?) with the td5 ECU.
Aha! Anyonetried this OBD Scanner?

isnt the nancom more like a set of spanners for the ecu'S :)

from what they say it looks like it will talk to all of the td5 computers!

we'll all be able to praise or cry in a few weeks anyway ;)

Thanks

Steve

They're working on the BCU for the D2. Other ecus not yet mentioned are ACE, auto gbox, Climate Control and instruments (eg testing temp and fuel gauges). I can't think of any more.

In another forum some members are starting to fit this gadget in the dash of the TD5 but I do not have an idea if it is good for diagnostics. Seems to me that it is more like a monitoring system

I looked at this one some time back and came to the conclusion that it only allows access the the engine ecu (ecu 0 IIRC), so even if it worked on a TD5 it would only be for the engine, not any other ecu eg SLABS on the D2. Other software can drive the Elmscan 5 but only addressing the engine ecu.
I was going to get to a distributor here in Aus to see to what extent it worked on mine but lost interest due to no access to SLABS. I very much doubt that it would reset the immobiliser in the D2's ecu, whereas Nanocom does.
