Be aware that the cable is a Chinese clone. They can be a problem when programming - they can brick a module. If you are going to try it you must have a constant source power supply - a battery charger will not do.

Thanks for advice.
In between I had the ECU replaced and remapped "plug and play" by cartech electronics. They've done a great job ! I was a bit worried and wondering if the car would start and recover all the settings AND IT DID !

So now, I fitted and protected that replacement ECU and of course took extra care with the drains and all parts involved in an atempt to lead water somewhere else than into the engine ECU !
And I ordered a "tablet deal" with ids and sdd included from mongoose jlr.
It seems to be an original item from jlr workshop reconditionned.
the tablet itself is a panasonic rugged device. I hope it will do all expected checks and programmings on my 04 XJ and some landies arround here... I'll let you know.

anyway, my big cat is back on the road thanks to cartech eletronics. GREAT ADRESS.

Good to hear you successfully recovered from the carwash disaster.
