Default Anybody done any CAN BUS decoding on these cars?

So I picked myself up a PicoScope 2204A a few days ago. I'm still pretty new to it, but it's a cool little tool for diagnosing the car.
I've been messing around with the serial decoding for the CAN network on the Pico software, and I know I could go through the tedious process of unplugging modules to gradually figure out which IDs belong to which modules, and "doing stuff" to decode the messages from the CAN, but I'm just wondering if anybody has already done this?
I've seen that some people have figured out stuff for other models on this site, crbass did some on the XK8 forum here, but I can't find anything similar here for the X400.

So does anybody do messing with the CAN here? Or have any info on these specific cars?
Basically I'm getting errors on the CAN, and I suspect it's around the TCM. I think tomorrow, weather permitting, I'll unplug the TCM and see if the errors on the line go away, which would probably point to a bad TCM, but just in general it would be good to have the decoding info if anybody has it..

This is just a screenshot of some data I grabbed with the Pico, it looks like there're quite a few errors but a lot of them might not really be errors when the car is actually running, it could just be to do with how I'm working with the data, but I just thought I'd add the photo to show what I'm looking at. And because it's kind of cool.

did some years ago using an ELM37, worked out the messages to and from the nav display, was able to put the clock on the display.

You didn't happen to save the data in an Excel spreadsheet, and still have it lying around somewhere by any chance?
