I've been considering purchasing a diagnostic tool as we have an L320 RRS and an L322 RR and have read about the Hawkeye Total Diagnostic unit but does anybody know its limitations? or can it diagnose everything?

Have a look at the GAP iid tool. I'm not sure if its compatible with the L322, but its considered one of the best domestic use Diagnostics for the Discovery 3. It's expensive though at £400.

You can just buy extra licences for the gap tool for multiple cars, I think it's £25 per extra vehicle.

I've ordered a GAP iid BT, should be here tomorrow smile
Extra licenses are £60 but I still think it is the best option

I have a gap iid for my D3.
Used it to check my mates 2003 L322 for faults.
Plus several other D3/4/RRS.

It’s vin locked to mine but can do basic code checking and fault clearing on any modern Landy.

Get the Bluetooth version and down load the app. It works really well on my phone.

Plus with the Black Friday weekend, you may get it a bit cheaper. They generally have a resale value of £250+ from what I’ve seen.

I bought a Faultmate as it was the most cost effective way to get full diagnostic capability for my 2.8i Defender, necessary as it has no O2 sensor and requires manual fuel trim

It’s decent enough and you can add licenses for other vehicle types pretty easily
