There's a saying over on the Land Rover forums - "teaching car maintenance one Land Rover at a time..." ;-)

-- and yes, I have a Jag and an LR3....

for the Jag. It also happens to work on Land Rover too. It has access to the specific ECU for the Jag and also has some "service" functions like reset the service indicator, push the EPB into brake mount mode etc.

It's not the cheapest out there but if it works for both Jag and LR it probably works out fair. I believe GAP diagnostic have acquired a XFR for testing purposes to see if they can use the same hardware for the Jag too. Wouldn't surprise me as a lot of the ECU stuff is related.

I did look at the Mangoose solutions but a 4000lb brick on my driveway isn't too appealing.

Thank you both for the input. Very helpful and that looks like exactly what I need. Just ordered it!
Seems like a lot of us with an XF and a LR3/4

Thanks again!
