Why did you buy this particular scanner?
Did it say it was Rover compatible?
Some scanners do not have the correct power contact wired up.

Hi,
Did you buy it from Ebay china ? I ask as I purchased a Maxi scan, it powered up when connected to the vehicle but when disconnected would not store or display the info from the vehicle on its screen nor onto my computer (not on my MGF as not OBD 2 compatable).
Agree with comments to try it on another vehicle.
Would strongly advise that if it was purchased from Ebay china then contact then straight away and raise an Ebay complaint / dispute, if seller accepts and advises you return it to them whatever you do make sure you pay for and obtain tracked overseas receipt from Royal Mail. It is expensive but worth it. I did not and lost not only my postage but also the purchase price.
