Answer
If the Rover won't communicate with your scan tool it's possible there is a problem with the car but it's just as likely your scanner and the Rover just are not compatible.

I suggest you refer the job to a properly equipped and qualified LR specialist.

If you want to proceed there are two resouorces I'd suggest:

www.iatn.net is the International Auto TEchnisicna Net, an excellent resource
