I'm waiting for approval to that forum, but do you know if that particular vehicle had a flash or non flash ECU?

I also wonder how many of those errors are apparent only when the vehicle is not running.

If you're wondering if it works on the non-flashable ecu then the documentation says yes.

Edit: The display is not showing any ecu part number which is supposed to only occur with the non-flashable ecus.

Slunnie, you might find this link interesting for Climate Control: Discovery Owners Club :: Tech - Body Electrics - Climate Control

Excellent, thanks for this Graeme, sounds good then. I was a bit hesitent as I wasn't sure if it would be compatible.

The other thing that I noticed when reading the website and which sounds interesting, is that it can be used for SLS calibration. I wonder if that means you can do a lift on the D2 and not require spacers for the SLS sensors.

Thanks for that DM, I didnt realise the CC had fault logging also! I'll have to try it out.

I know you can with Rovacom, if you check some of the USA sites they talk about it. Trouble is that you basically over inflate the system so there is a risk of tearing the bags from what I've seen on the web. I don't have SLS, so haven't looked into it.

That's why I never bought the CC licence for RovaComLite

There's a few people who know what happens to airbags that are allowed to over-extend - the end gets pulled-off and have to be filled with Simpson Desert sand!

So the droop limit on D2 SLS vehicles is the bag limit?

No, not at all. It's still the shock absorber that limits the travel. If the airbag is allowed to max out, the pulling on the bag seperates the bag from the upper plate.

Hi All,
I noticed in the final pic (I think) that CAN BUS was listed. Does this mean that the unit can also be used with the D3 TDV6, or did some Td5's use CAN BUS?

Best Wishes,

Td5 Uses some CANbus, but the D3 uses CANbus and a whole lot more, so I'd asay they would be still developing that area.
