Thanks. The error, that showed up, was: "VERR_TAR_UNEXPECTED_EOS". That seems to be an issue with the upload.

Have you attempted to download the file again? It could be a problem with your download rather than the source file.

 

[dwbach]

Oh, err, well ... I should have mentioned: I downloaded the file three times .

 

[dwbach]

All works fine now. The problem was my Virtual Box version. I updated the software to the most recent version 5.2.16, which I missed until today. This version was, to my surprise, able to handle the import of the appliance. The old VB Manager from the beginning of the year 2018 failed.

I might give neverware a chance although the machine runs on an old 1st gen. i7 with 16GB and an SSD with more than sufficient speed and also finds our old S-Type.

My apologies.

Hi guys. Ive loaded up the virtual machine and got the software running but i can for the life of me get the machine to detect the jlr eobd lead/device.
Im pulling my hair out now....any advise would be great

Cheers dan

I've downloaded all the relevant files from you TheMindBudda, many thanks, and a donation to my nearest cat protection charity will be forthcoming.
Also obtained a Mongoose cable today.
After a couple of false starts the virtual machine on my laptop recognised the cable and hooked up to my X-Type.
Next step over the weekend is to work my way through the SDD and get it to programme the CD Autochanger with the head unit.

Hi rick. What did you keep trying to get the laptop to recognise the mongoose cable.....im having a mare. Ive tried 3 different laptops. Im loosing my hair...
Thanks dan

Dan,
I'm using a couple of years old Lenovo laptop that's running Windows 8 prior to installing TheMindBudda's files . I'm using the Virtual Machine to run XP Pro and SDD 138.
I followed TheMindBudda's instructions to the letter and found it took a couple of attempts..... including stepping away, having a break and a coffee and going back again. Make sure you go into Details and enable USB and Drew so that the cable is recognised.

After a bit of delving through other threads and posts about using SDD I have worked out how to get my CD Autochanger programmed in the X-Type
I now have a spare cassette adapter should I decide to go back to listening to radio tracks from my phone.

Due to a technical error on my part I ordered too many Mongoose cables and now have two surplus unopened Mongoose cables should any Forum member want first dibs on one. £30 each with free P&P.
PM me for details on making payment.

If no one wants them I will put them up on eBay next month.

Rick

 

[a1exward]

I will take one please... Send me a message on how you would like paying... Can you send me an image to awhvehicle@btinternet.com also...

Thanks

Alex

 

[rick_shape]

Alex I will send you an image in the morning when I get home from work.

Have PM'd you (possibly twice).

 

[rick_shape]

Have PM'd you (possibly twice).

Definitely twice

I've replied to you Zulu 10 and you will now get the second cable.

Both Mongoose cables have now been sold.

Can anyone advise if the sdd can monitor closely each coil performance to see if one if slightly lagging but without triggering any fault codes?

 

[rick_shape]

While using the SDD today in the X-Type to see what codes etc are stored and possibly meddling where I shouldn't have... Ive managed to bring up a PECUS ERROR E on the warning display with flashing red and yellow lights.
Is there an easy remedy to clear this or is it a trip to a Jag Indie?

A quick lookup and this is a network communication problem with the ECM, first check the battery voltage for a low voltage, and stick it on charge.

Did you have a battery charger/maintainer connected whilst fiddling with SDD?

 

[rick_shape]

Mark no I didn't have a battery charger on. I'll stick it on charge when I get home from work in the morning and wait until fully charged.

Rick

 

[rick_shape]

Well it looks like it doesn't pay to meddle. Today I hooked up a battery charger to the X-Type battery and managed to clear the PECUS Error E fault but have now brought up a Gearbox Error fault and the car won't start.
Good job I have a spare car to be able to go to the hospital this afternoon to visit my Dad after his knee replacement operation yesterday. I'll spend some time on this Night shift researching Gearbox Errors and hook up the SDD again tomorrow.
