Diagnostic reader for 300 TDi 90
I have connected a Snap on Ethos fault reader to my 1997 300TDi Defender, but it wont connect. This is through the port between the centre and passenger seat. Does anyone know if the Snapon kit works? If not what readers do work?

I'd be highly surprised if ANY diagnostic kit worked on a 300TDi Laughing

In all seriousness, there will be something to connect to the alarm module for coding key fobs etc, but that's about it

Ok no worries, just trying to see if the alarm module was causing an issue on my vehicle. Scrolling through the menus it says 1997 10th letter of VIN =V but only showers discovery, freelander and range rover. Scrolling through a couple of menus does show defender and states where the connection is, but won't read. Thanks for your help.

The port is at the front of the middle seat / cubby box area and close to the passenger seat if that makes sense !

I have these ports under my middle seat always wondered what they were for. I see they are diagnostic ports but what would they check for? It's a 300 tdi
