Rover 200 & 400 Owners Club

This has probably been posted before, but the folks over the on 75 Owner's Club website have compiled and continue to maintain a T4 Testbook map, basically locations in the UK (former dealers, MG Rover support companies, enthusiasts, etc.) that have in their possession a Rover T4 Test Book (electronic diagnostic and engine set-up/calibration tool) should your car need any of the procedures that involve its use.

I know there are several OBD readers and key fob programmers out there - even these days MEMS to USB leads that plug directly into Android phones if your phone supports OTG (and last count at least 3 Android diagnostic apps). Test Book was in addition about set-up and calibration procedures relating to servicing and a broader range of diagnostic procedures that, although based on sensor readings (that other tools will display for you), involved adjustments to the engine and its ancillaries until there was a pass/fail outcome, with a wider diagnosis of misbehaving components.

Just worth bearing in mind in case there's a car out there with a fault that cannot be found. Just ask and find out how far your chosen T4-equipped dealer is prepared to go with the testing and what they can do for you:

Here's the thread on the 75/ZT owner's club website that discusses the map:

I expect it's a matter of identifying who posted the map link on the thread (user "stevestrat" - first post on the thread?) and PM-ing them through the website. Can't imagine you're not a member already...

Yep I’m a member (all be it not a paid member).

ok


They deleted my message, even after someone thanked it.

Maybe because I mentioned I had the dreaded Pscan as well.

Ah well, their loss.

At least we all know where it is...

Can T4 program the Lucas key fobs?

My Pscan can do that.

I spoke to a mate of mine who has T4 and he says he can do our fobs.
How easy and expensive is it to get the T4 gear? Many years ago all the stuff for setting up maestro EFis , fast check , was rare but I managed to get the lot off Ebay cheap
