Bought my 2014 SDV8 RRS last Saturday and bought an IID tool the other day and it arrived yesterday. Had a play around yesterday and it seems like a pretty comprehensive tool. Can’t wait to put it to some proper use.

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

It is indeed an amazing tool. I wouldn't own a Land Rover without one. Look into the different modifications you can make with your IID tool and get to work. PS - happy motoring in the new car. How have you found it so far?

[@Mac_F87]

@@GreenOval_Adventurers good to hear, I’ve been having a play around today and it’s already paying off. Really loving the Range Rover so far. I came from a long line of hot hatches, Audi S’s, Golf R’s, RS3’s and BMW M2 most recently so even a sport seems so comfortable in comparison! I’ve had a few little issues so far. The car wouldn’t go into access mode at first. Found some information online about the compressor exhaust silencer. So cleaned it out and now the suspension works as it should. So luckily an easy fix. Also been getting a parking brake fault. Only seems to be when I’ve driven through a lot of standing water. Used the IID tool to see what the issue was. I was getting a fault code for the left side short to ground which makes sense as it looks like water ingress is the issue. Took the actuator off today and it has two cracks in it. So have made a temporary fix until I can get a new actuator. The other issue currently is the driver seat heating and cooling doesn’t work. So tried swapping the fan unit for the passenger side back over to the driver side back. When it’s in the driver side seat it is totally dead also and the one from the driver side works while it’s in the passenger side. I get a fault code for U3001-46 (2F) Control module improper shutdown - System internal failure - calibration/parameter memory failure in the driver seat module and B1418-87 (2F) Front right - Seat climate control module - Bus signal/message failure - missing a message” in the HVAC. So it seems to me as if the heated seat module might be at fault.

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

Now you got the RR, you'll think why didn't I do this sooner. Fair play on resolving your issues! I think you are right about the module.

[@Mac_F87]

@@GreenOval_Adventurers definitely wonder why I didn’t get one sooner! The heated and cooled seat turned out tot he another simple fix. I’m going to run out of luck soon. I unbolted the seat and had a look underneath. For some reason the heated seat module was unplugged. Not sure if someone has done it or it’s not been plugged back in correctly and rattled out again. Either way over got my drivers climate functions again.

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

Now that's the type of fixes I like! 😂

[@cryptopelgrim4751]

Great video! Thanks for this, i'm looking into one in the near future for my Disco 3

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

Glad I could help! Go for it! You won't regret it!

[@leerolfe5332]

My Disco 4 has been in a local garage for a suspension fault that rectifies itself with a restart. Their fancy Snap On obd readers couldn't find no history in the cars faults. Gap tool arrived today and found the 2 fault codes needed straight away for me to have a clue to know where to look. I'll be checking live values on ride level sensors with manual movement tomorrow morning for an example. I'm a Plumber so no Mechanic by a county mile but them codes are invaluble.

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

It could be a lot of things. If you're still having trouble, feel free to drop me a message. Air suspension once you figure it out is pretty easy to fix.

[@oovlocityoo2671]

Thanks for the video! Can you set the speedometer for bigger tires?

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

Yes you can!

[@smhri]

Can you make a video showing how to disable the auto retracting side mirrors?

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

Use the CCF file, to enable. That will do the trick.

[@OffMyCloud]

Thanks for the great film Peter. I've been thinking about one of these for some months now and aim to buy early in the new year. I'm trying to do more and more on my 2005 D3 to keep costs down and I think this tool will be very helpful. It's not a main consideration for me in making the purchase if it doesn't, but do you know if the tool is able to tell how the glow plugs are functioning?

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

I'd 100% recommend one, and this tool will certainly help keep the maintenance costs down, even if you are using a mechanic. I'd be very surprised if it didn't log a fault if the glow plugs where not working. In fact I'm almost certain it does because there is a glow plug warning light on the dash and to 'light up' it needs a fault!

[@OffMyCloud]

@@GreenOval_Adventurers Thanks. I know my glow plugs are not working, because I have starting issues in the winter (I've done a video on my channel about that), but it would be interesting to see if they have all gone, or if some still work. It might be different on the D3, because although there is the light that you have to wait to go out before starting, that in itself doesn't seem to suggest that there is a glow plug fault, as it goes out as it should. Aiming to buy the GAP IID next week, so will let you know how I get on with it.

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

Let me know how you get on with the GAP tool!

[@OffMyCloud]

@@GreenOval_Adventurers Tool arrived a few days ago now. I've had a little play around with it and can see the uses. I've not seen fault codes that state glow plug problem explicitly, so perhaps it doesn't show that on the D3. I think it'll really come into it's own when I do work on the suspension.

[@calvinleelawson]

Are there any diag tools you would recommend if you’re planning on working on other cars besides LR but still has the gap tool capabilities?

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

I'm afraid I'm not up to date on other vehicles. I've only really worked with LR products!

[@CameronMoss-z2g]

My LR3 is throwing transmission fault and it will not let me take the car out of park. I just ordered a Gap tool so it should be here in the next couple of days thankfully. Do you have any tips for working in the transmission area with this tool? I live in a different city than my land rover mechanic so I will send him all of the transmission fault codes that pop up with this as well for his expertise input.

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

I’m not certain if the IID tool will fix your issue. It could be the switch on the back of the gear lever or brake pedal. Alternatively, it might be the solenoid on the selector. There is a manual release if you lift the plastic trim around the gear selector. That should get you moving.

[@michaelchappell8708]

How dose it go with the DPF pressure test? Big Thanks.

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

Not sure Michael! I've never done it, but searching google it is possible with this tool. There's not much it can't do! 😂

[@carlhee3044]

Will this work on a 2024 v8 defender for a stage 1 ECU tune???

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

I believe so, yes.

[@7117martin]

Can it change the vin number on a donor part to the actual vehicle vin number ?

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

I'm not sure Martin. I haven't seen that setting though, so unlikely.

[@thomassand7520]

Hi, great video. Do you know if it is possible to configure your headlights from right wheel drive to left wheel drivre on a Range Rover 2012 Tdv8 4.4. I use my car in europe often and would like to swop between this settings. All the best Thomas

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

Hey Thomas! You can't change it with the IID tool. But there is a lever on the back of the headlamps. That will switch the beam to LHD vs RHD. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@thomassand7520]

Thank you so much for the tip. Looking forward to seeing what else you can use the tool for... Have just got one myself now. All the best Thomas

[@mr2law]

Thanks for sharing . Does this iid Tool work with a 2018 Velar L560 ? I replaced the air compressor and it sets a code. I also think the height sensors needs calibration. Please let me know

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

From what I can see on the list - www.gap-diagnostic.com/products/iidtool/ it will work fine. What code does it produce?

[@mr2law]

@@GreenOval_Adventurers thanks for your reply. The codes i get are : U3000-04 C1130-66 C1131-92 C1A18-64 C1A20-64 I already replaced the Compressor. I think it needs calibration and or re flash.

[@shamrocky]

Hey, I have a velar as well, thinking about getting a gap tool, can you enable configurable dynamics with the gap tool? ​@@mr2law

[@abratskeller]

Can I disable the daytime running lights on a 2020+ defender? It's currently winking at me.

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

Yes, I'm sure you can! Everything is in the CCF for editing.

[@gurjitdhariwal7228]

I’m thinking of purchasing the tool for my L320. I have error sign which doesn’t seem to go - Control Module C1A00-54 / Suspension fault turn off engine plus a red light appears. Will this tool erase the error code?

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

I would start by checking your height sensors (physically) and if it all looks good perform a calibration. That should sort this problem.

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

PS - Yes, the tool will definitely help sort this for you. Better to buy an IID tool, than paying someone else.

[@owncompany8934]

Will it turn off the adaptive headlight icon, since I facelifted my 2008 L320 the headlights I used were non adaptive so am left with the flashing light on the dash

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

You can disable the adaptive headlight in the CCF, so the answer is yes.

[@GeneralGrievous11B]

I have a 2009 Range Rover sport and was thinking of buying this. I don’t really work on my own car but I feel like a lot of problems are over exaggerated by mechanics here. Would this be easy to get used to?.

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

You can actually fix/ diagnose a lot of the problems with this tool. I honestly wouldn't have a LR product without one. 100% recommend it!

[@GeneralGrievous11B]

@@GreenOval_Adventurers I bought one. Won’t be here until Wednesday. I just replaced all my tires along with Tpms sensors and it they all synced up at first but a day later it’s flashing and saying tpms fault. I don’t understand it.

[@michaelrodriguez2995]

I plan to order mine today. I was curious what symptoms did you experience with the wrong suspension compressor programmed?

[@alfamud]

So, I want to buy an LR4, would it be a good idea as a probable owner to buy the tool and scan the vehicle for my inspection, or should I leave it to a shop?

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

I recommend buying the tool for both pre & after-purchase. If anything goes wrong you can very quickly find out exactly what has happened and the steps you need to take to repair it. Wouldn't be without mine!

[@OffMyCloud]

I don't know if you've already purchased a D4 yet, but if you haven't then personally I'd not buy the GAP IID tool at the point you are at, if it's only going to be used for checking fault codes. There are less expensive tools available for checking faults. If, however, you aim to be working yourself on the D4 you buy, then the GAP IID looks to me the best option for that. Key thing is, it's not just a fault reader.

[@alfamud]

Thanks,@@OffMyCloud , I'm still looking for the one. I want the 2016 HSE with the locking diff option, apparently in Costa Rica that option was not very popular :S Thanks for the suggestion again, I appreciate it.

[@OffMyCloud]

@@alfamud You are welcome. Good luck with your search. I have a 2005 D3 HSE, which I've owned 14 years. It's caused me some problems over the years, but I love it.

[@LyndonBattye]

Hi peter and everyone , I've just come across your channel and really hope you can help me. Peter , I woz doin a update and it said low voltage on the center screen , now when I press the start button for the ignition to come on it lights up with loads of faults , when I press the start button with my foot on the brake pedal the car just turns off as if you'd been driving parked up and press the start button to turn the engine off, if that makes sense , peter and follows is it a case of changing the battery to full and Finnishing the update for the car to start .. can't believe I've done this with no one around to help , any help would be very very much appreciated.

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

Hi Lyndon. Sounds like the update failed due to low battery. OK, what I believe you need to do is reflash whatever system you where updating. This is likely why it won't start. Can you start the update again (this time with a strong battery).

[@donwk1892]

I have a 2006 rrs supercharged... My car was fine and out of boredom i selected calibrate anti roll option then i got e7 error code and my red suspension light is on... Everything still works ie suspension goes up an down etc but now the red light stays on and fault code C1A00-54 - Control module - System programming failure - missing calibration (AB)... 😮... Any advice please 🙏

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

Re-calibrate your suspension height(s) - that should do the trick.

[@donwk1892]

@@GreenOval_Adventurers tried that several times, it calibrates fine.. All seems to work fine just blasted red light and the code above which i googled but all say af at end instead of ab like mine🤔

[@aungnaing2203]

Hi Peter, I need your Help, I just bought 2009 Range rover sport and the next day tire pressure light turn on with message tire pressure monitoring failure and car system shut down but I am still able drive the car but as soon as I shut off the engine I'm not able to start the car also showing code U0167, Can you please tell me what should I check first? and this gap tool can fixed the issue I'm having? if so I'll buy one, repair shop to me I need BCM and I changed used one still have issue after spend over $1000 and I do not want to take it to the shop again. Please help and Thanks

[@GreenOval_Adventurers]

I don't think there is anything wrong with your BCM or Tyre Monitoring System (Infact a failure of that system wouldn't cause the car not to start). A quick Google suggests a grounding fault (therefore, check the battery (good charge), and the terminal connections on the battery and ground points).

[@newjersey4930]

I just bought mine .. got it... and I'm nervous to use it!!! 🤦🏽 I'm afraid ima fu$k something up
