New rover mg diagnostics kit

Roverron · 11th June 2014, 14:42

A Rover/MG specific diagnostic laptop based tool has recently been launched.

It is the result of a lot of work to enable it to provide much greater functionality than the generic type. It also works on the pre 2004 diesels which were not eobd compliant.

There are some screen shots on our tuning-diesels.co.uk website though we do not as yet stock it.

The ability of those involved to develop this is impressive, particularly in view of the selling price. (£180)

That looks really good. Had a look at the KickStarter page and it appears to have a number of backers already.

Looking forward to see how this develops. Is it anyone on this site that's behind it?

Looks good, but nothing on the video showed a 75 diesel ecu.

Very interested, but more information needed me thinks.

Yes it's me. I haven't made a video of if connected to a 75/ZT because I don't own one. It has been tested on Rob Bell's ZT-T, and also on a friend's face lift 75. Both of those are diesels.

As I will be at the Halfway House meet on Sunday I can probably get someone to video it there.

If anyone has any questions please reply here and I will answer.

Good luck with this project. Should be a real help keeping the cars on the road.

That looks very good indeed Phillip, there is obviously a long way to go in terms of development of the necessary security protocols for accessing units such as the BCU, EWS etc, but very promising.

Of course Phil-T4 has a lovely piece of kit, which does all of this and more, utilising a FTDI 232 RL and a rather nifty piece of software

Does all that a T4 can do too

Told you not to T4 in the rain Bri, blooming thing has shrunk

I've been following this thread with a lot of interest, hoping it's within my budget when it's released to us mere mortals

I believe the silent majority still do and since his project is now funded by £2k more than he needed, I would say this is probably the case, though we will never know who the funders are.
Sadly a conceited few still find it necessary to massage their egos by slagging off everything they don't have a hand in and also think their opinion matters most.
Philip in his brief encounter with those in this clique, now has a very low opinion of this forum, whereas the silent majority have enough sense to see past the boasting, know it all rhetoric.

Well done Philip, you deserve a medal.

Ron

I agree, Phill had Done a sterling job of the emulator. From what Brian says, but omnitech will need to open up to selling the necessary software to forum members.

humphshumphs · 28th June 2014, 09:00

I too think what Philip has done is great. I am glad that he was able to get his funding sorted.

It does all come down to money and what it does. If at the end of the day it does what the 'buyer' wants, then brilliant, but if he his looking for more, then it's not going to be bought.

I would love a 'simplified' T4, just one that will read all the data correctly, and tell me in english what it means. If you could also turn on/off the factory options (DRL, one touch up/down, etc) that would be brilliant. I don't want to be able to reprogramme things coz I would end up bricking my car knowing my luck. - Oh well, I can dream
