New Purchase: T1 TestBook
Hi Everyone.
Just thought I would share with you my new purchase: T1 TestBook. It came with nearly everything for our cars. Could any one help with locating / manufacture of the Red lead (DTC0065A) to connect to the car and the extension lead (DTC0007A)? I wouldn't mind also making the extension cable for the second port (DTC0013A), as I have the clip on ammeter too. I have found the MBG connectors in farnell and don't mind buying them along with suitable cable and resistors. It came with the VCSI interface (DTC0006A) "Brick" and most Land Rover leads and Discs. I have already upgraded the processor to a 486DX2 66 that I had in my old computer spares box, it came with 32mb of ram already. I will be changing the hard drive for a SSD in the near future, I will post how I did that when the SSD arrives I have all the discs needed to do this except the RDS update disc (RDSSCAN13) that includes scan disc etc. Would anyone be able to help me with that also? Many Thanks, Dave. |

Hi Brian, Many thanks for the help. I really appreciate it. Just out of interest is the 2nd port a straight through to for the extension cable, but with the key in a different pin number?
Also I take on board what you have said about the SSD. However, mine currently has a 2.5" 6GB hd and is functioning perfectly well. I have only invested about £25 in it so in the scheme of things its not a big deal if it is a deadend. Once again, I cannot thank you enough. Do you have the pin outs for the other leads with the OBD connector ends as I have discs for onlder rovers too. Many Thanks, Dave. |

The 6Gb HDD is a replacement, the originals are 120Mb, so you will find the 6Gb one has had the partition resized to 118Mb, and the clusters from 32Kb to 2Kb. The BIOS and chipset wont recognise a HDD bigger than 128Mb I'll dig them out for you tomorrow, or should I say later today Brian |

Many Thanks brian, I know that you are in bed and probably asleep. And I bow to your knowledge
However, I have a screen shot that may just shock you. the bios sees the hard drive as the correct size. I haven't slaved it into another pc yet, but it may well be partitioned to the size that you said. Cheers, Dave. |

It's easy Ron, that bit attaches to the other bit, then you just plant it in the greenhouse in early April, wait 5 weeks then hey presto! You've grown a thingamybob
