the one that came off is sprung the new one just turns. the pointers on the new one doesn't move as you turn it. the old one when in position turn it with the allen key it will spring back if the nut is not tightened the new one just stays there.

finding a useful diagnostic tool for budget price
it depends on how much you want to spend i have been looking at the icarsoft about £150 . it will be my next purchase when the cash is available . for land rovers i use gap iid that costs a lot more but will do most things dealer diagnostics can .
