Rules for Transports and heavy support, Landraiders as transports. I am using the Daemonhunters codex.

The Inquisitor Lord and Inq Stormtroopers are the only units with Transport options. The Inquisitor can have any SM vehicle. Stormtroopers only have the Rhino or Chimers. Gamers put Grey Knight troops in landraiders.
Can a HS vehicle transport More than 1 unit,if there is space available. Can 3 X 5 man seperate units, all be put into a LRC.

Transports are a upgrade to a unit. What about vehicles that have to be purchased as heavy support, Landraiders. They are in the support section of the codex but you always see Grey Knights in them.

No.

SOME transports are upgrades to a unit, called Dedicated Transports. The only difference they have is they don't take up a FOC slot, but only the owning unit can deploy in the vehicle at the start of the game.

As for your other question - reread the rules on transport vehicles, it is very clearly stated in there.

Some of the issues you might be having are that there are 5 different transport vehicles listed in the DH codex, with only 3 of them listed as dedicated transports and the other 2 are Grey Knight specific heavy selections.

Of the 3 dedicated transport options (Rhino, Chimera, and Land Raider), only Inquisitor with retinue and IST's may take dedicated transports, and only Inquisitor with retinue my take Land Raiders (Godhammer). Of the heavy support choices, you need a Grey Knight Hero to unlock the 2 GK Land Raiders (Godhammer and Crusader). Not much different than in other Marine Codecii.

One thing to note is that Inquisitors do not have access to any SM vehicles, they only have access to Rhinos, Chimera, and standard pattern Land Raiders (aka, Godhammers).

Another thing to note is that only Grey Knights may be transported in Grey Knight Land Raiders and Grey Knight Crusaders, per the wording in their entries on pg 32 of the DH codex.

And lastly, until a new codex or a newer DH FAQ is released, only DH units that purchase dedicated transports may be transported by those specific transports; i.e., DH follow the old rules for dedicated transports, not the current edition rules for dedicated transports. Witch Hunter got lucky with their FAQ, DH did not.

Thank you. I like the more than 1 word answers. That is why I ask Dakka members. BTW
Codex DH pg 30. Quote"Transports are always taken as an upgrade for another unit..."

Dedicated Transports.

Units taken as HS but have a Transport Capacity are not taken as an Upgrade for another unit. They are separate units in themselves. What it means is those THREE transports cannot be bought separately, but must be bought as a Upgrade for a unit. You cannot, for example, just buy a Chimera or Rhino, it has to be a Squads transport upgrade.

I am going to shake things up. BRB pg.67
"when deployed it can only carry the unit it was selected with. AFTER the game begins it can then transport any friendly unit."

And this shakes things up... how?

Doesn't shake it very hard, I'm afraid. The current FAQ points out that Codex restrictions on dedicated transports over-ride the rulebook transport rules.

So for the moment, as jeffersonian000 already pointed out, DH dedicated transports can only transport the unit for which they were purchased.

Don't gamers find it strange that the codex over-ride the book. Most of the codex are Older than the BRB but they are "more correct". One would think that GW would take in account the codex in print, When making The main/ current rulebook.
Yes. I agree, the posters on Dakka are correct.

What about the old FAQ isn't rules argument?

What about we don't do that again?

Oh well, okay...
Sorry, been away from Dakka for a while, kinda missed it. ^^
