The Range Rover p38 is Awesome!!!

I like the idea of a larger graphical interface displaying more data at a time. Also the Explorer software. From what I've read it only has a couple of extra tricks up its sleeve compared to the Nanocom (and these are with the BECM and one extra with the ABS and HEVAC I think), so it boils down mainly to usability. I cant remember what the tricks are off the top of my head - I've been researching it a fair bit but it hasn't all stuck in my brain yet.

Good choice. I have a MSV-2 extreme and find it very useful. The Vehicle Explorer software is a good thing, as is its ability to record live data - very handy if you are chasing an intermittent fault.

I recorded my rangie's fueling data when I was working out why it suddenly stopped one day. It proved that when the engine died, fuel pressure and all injectors were fueling as they should, and that there were no misfires or issues with spark.

It's a shame that it doesn't throw up a fault code for a buggered crank pos sensor!

I think it was your thread a few months (6?) ago that made me buy a crank angle sensor and put it in the glovebox. Not that expensive for a little piece of mind. I think its one of the few (maybe only) electrical sensors that will stop the engine when it malfunctions. A lot of the other sensors will revert to an ECU default setting and keep you rolling. Ah yes, rolling. :D And on the matter of the Faultmate, I am looking forward to hours of fun with that machine.

Assuming one has the usual "one of everything" Anal-Retentive-P38-Owner range of tools and parts in the "just in case" tool box (displacing space for swmbo's second suitcase:twisted::wasntme:) is a CKP swap a repair which could reasonably be done beside the track?...

I just want to know how you knew that's how I hold my tools.:D

Yes, provided the engine has a moment to cool, 5 minute job.

Tipping water over it allowed me to restart the engine and move to safety - same could apply out bush.
