Default Scan tool

Hi all, can anyone recommend a scan tool that I can use to calibrate my ride height. One side of car 20mm higher one side at rear. Suspension seams fine no warning lights. Thanks.

Deb, for that, you are almost guaranteed to need the SDD software from jaguar along with a Mongoose Pro cable specific to jaguar (there are many versions, need one specific to JLR vehicles). Depending on how set up you want this, it can cost you up to $1000 for a ready "out of the box" setup. If you are willing to fight and install the software yourself, you can get away for around $150, supplying your own laptop. This is where, if you do not do a lot of your own work, it may be cheaper to simply have a local shop correct this for you. Keep in mind that you also need to get the special ruler that Jaguar has for determining the distances. It is measuring from the center of the wheel to the top edge of the wheel well (which is normally around 400mm, but the computer is looking for a value of about 200mm. So, I am not sure if you need to take half of what you measure and input that or whether the special ruler that JLR has is offset by some amount. Hopefully one of the other members can help out with this.
