While I think about it, one for TB and other JLR product owners...

What are the options for at home diagnostics on these? The local indy I went to had some iPad type thing from Strap On, which no doubt costs a billionty pounds, plus monthly subs. Are there (m)any more palatable options?

Difficult for me to comment on this one as I just plug in SDD/Pathfinder/Topix/Corvus etc as needed

Would the Autel Maxiscan Elite be upto the job

Suspect yours is Pathfinder (DTM will know), as probably too new for SDD.

In the case of SDD, its a free download from JLR, but needs a login.  I know there are ways around the login, but I think such bypasses are at best, flaky.  Suspect Pathfinder will be similar, though I've never used it.  SDD is, err, "quirky" in the way it works, and in the case of her XE, there is no direct option to clear any codes.

Away from dealer level diagnostics, iCarsoft are probably the most popular on Jaguars.  Obviously can't do everything that the dealer stuff can do, but can do a lot more than just a generic-ish OBDII as its geared towards the marque its sold for.  Probably looking around £150-£250 for a single marque model, depending on which one you go for.

Would be pathfinder, it might be migrating to Topix but that is questionable given the age

Ive just bought an icarsoft Porsche and its not bad at all. Nowhere near dealer level diagnostics, but doesnt cost thousands and definitely quite a lot better than a generic code reader.
Usually around £150, but I picked up a 3 month old one for £75.
Might be worth a look for a home diagnostic option.

I see you lurking, Jim, got something to tell us? 

[Viral_Jim]

Funnily enough... No 

Done about 1000 miles so far, still averaging mid-to-low 30's. Absolutely loving it.

I picked up a nail in a tyre (not repairable - obviously) but as it's no t gone down even 1psi in 6 days I put some sealant in it and left it. In all that time all I've found that's less than 100% is some minor wind whistle round the driver's window seal/mirror - can't tell which, and a slight rattle from the parcel shelf.

While ever I can afford to run it, I doubt I'll drive anything else.

Sorry to disappoint you old chap ;-)

Good news. It looks like you have made a wise choice. Presumably it comes with a warranty  if it all goes tits up.

.....but it costs nothing to cross your fingers as well.

Although it does make picking your nose a bit trickier. Apparently
