New Purchase: T1 TestBook

rocco_meister · 27th April 2015, 23:41

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.

I'd be ok if the Bios RAM chipset thingy just needed welding

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

Hi again all, just a quick question? Is transducer extension lead DTC0013a the same as DTC0013b (LRT5007a)? Many Thanks in advance, Dave

If you can't fix it with a hammer, it is an electrical problem.

If it was, it would really be silly to give it two different numbers, would it not??
So from that point of view, of course they must be identical. It is a Rover after all.
