I’m in Essex so quite a way from you.

A new Nanocom with Puma software , if bought via the group buy on here that gives a 20% discount is circa £360. Not cheap but if you are planning to do work on your vehicle, ie change injectors, power bleed ABS , etc and want to be able to read and Clear Defender specific codes or monitor live data etc while driving then it’s a good tool.

It’s also not locked to a specific VIN so can be used on any Puma defender.

Thanks for your advice and help to date. Yes you are a good distance!

The Nanocom appears to program the Lucas10 (older fob) and ALM (presumably late 2014 and 2015 with chrome strip) fobs. How easy is it?

I have a td5 and 2 Pumas and all I am thinking is at some point another fob is likely to fail …

This is so amazingly simple albeit you have given the navigation. Are you a technician?

I am so nearly tempted to go out and buy the Nanacom, just need to do some research …

Thank you

Support for the 2.4 is good , for the 2.2 it initially had issues , I.e injector coding, however over the last 18 months it’s improved and things like injector coding, oil service light reset have become available via software updates.

It also supports the TD5 ( inc fob programming) but you need to purchase a separate license for the Nanocom to support Puma and TD5 vehicle’s.

Ian,

Again thank you for the input, your knowledge is quite simply overwhelming. Do you know how much the TD5 license is and when bought is for lifetime on the device. Cheers.

See link for pre vat prices, £55.80 to add a TD5 license to an existing Nanocom for a 2.4 / 2.2 Puma.

Have a chat with DieselDriver https://www.defender2.net/forum/member-dieseldriver.html on here re group buy and discounts .

All licences are for life, all software revisions are free, the Nanocom can be used on any defender and is not vin locked to a specific vehicle.
