will obd (II) code readers work ?
« on: August 03, 2006, 19:40:15 »
Noticed that I have an OBD port under the dash, has anyone tried a generic OBD code reader in it yet ? does it work ? I have a 1996 ES dicovery 300TDi with EGR and was thinking of getting a code reader to try.

Try Rovacom lite, bit expensive though.

I've just noticed we're talking about a '96 Disco, Rovacom WILL work, it's listed on the website.  If you are unsure I can ask on the owner's forum.
