Thread: Check Engine Light - Code Readers

I just got the basic FCR - just reads and clears codes - you cannot manipulate any systems.

I got it from Black Box Solutions in Cyprus. Ordering was straight forward off their web site. Postage was a bit expensive but I guess that tends to be the norm these days - order was delivered in just over a week after the order was placed.

I have been reading and watching this thread with interest as I am considering purchasing a diagnostic tool for my D4 so have have been reading what ever I can find, asking questions and searching other Land Rover sites.

One of the better sites that I, along with many of our members, often look at is DISCO4.COM. Last night I found an article on there that contains all the information that you need to know about the Faultmate (both the MSV-2 Extreme and the FCR). Most of the answers to questions raised and information is directly from the principle the manufacturer, Blackbox Solutions.

There are links to other posts and Youtube videos and a revelation of the next generation of Blackbox magic 'Genesis' on-line support.

Please see link below:

DISCO4.COM - View topic - Faultmate MSV and MY2012 Disco

I found it well worth my time to read through all of it and the linked posts and watch the youtube clips even though there is a fair bit there.

Heaps and heaps of info.

And the last word from Colin was that "we have also now bought the CCF edit capability right up to date, including adding all the new stuff for 2012 MY vehicles".

My experience was exceptionally good as far as communications go.

It was shipped via DHL but when it arrives in Sydney it is transferred to Aust Post for delivery in Aust

After being despatched for some reason it sat at the couriers for a couple of days in Cyprus and when it arrived in Australia it again sat at the couriers for a couple of days before being transferred to Aust Post - nevertheless it was delivered in 8 days from despatch to delivery. BBS was very quick in sending it off and they emailed me the process.

Try sending a AULRO PM to Colin at BBS his AULRO name is BBS Guy

Also via email try Hayley at admin@blackbox-solutions.com

and Vicki and Colin can be contacted on info@blackbox-solutions.com
