my money is still on this (from previous thread)

Time to have a look for mods inside the instrument cluster

Ahh. Sorry.

I mis-read the last post in the TC & HDC thread as being that you'd fixed it.

I will throw my 2 bobs worth in. For the abs sensor get a multi meter and check continuity on the wires up to the plug. They have form for bracking. If you **** a broken wire i have cut and rejoined them with no problem. Tap on the top of the sensor till it bottoms out they are self adjusting and it may have moved out a bit.

well here we go on the continuing saga, took it back to dealer, couldnt find his scan tool plug, these are supposed to be a 4wd specialist yard?, he checked all the usual things fuses etc, he says oh well must be a wheel sensor I'll order one, he couldnt tell me why the ABS doesnt come on as a warning light as I drove down a wet road and applied brakes hard and locked the tyres up, he did agree that there is a definite fault (Oh really einstien), I dont have much confidence in him and am loath to leave the car there but warranty is warranty, I'm begining to suspect D2andrew maybe closer to the truth, My first Land Rover and I'm already problem solving, Is there any one in Brissy with a scan tool that would like to have a look for me so at least ive good some ammo when I take it back, I have noticed that there is a couple of plugs lying under the ABS unit that go no where, I have no idea what im doing with all this electronics stuff, I assume a slab or bottle of something would go your way for your assistance

cheers

Ken

can you post up a pic of the plugs under the abs unit

ye I'll try and get a couple up when I get home, at work at moment

cheers

you can manually check the sensor yourself--
jack the offending wheel just off the ground, start car and at idle select first so wheel is spinning,,

does the speedo move?
if yes, sensor is fine.

thanks Pedro, Ill try when I get off work

cheers
