    Height sensors since about MY07 appear to be very reliable and as the air suspension system works albeit without refinements with only 3 sensors, I don't feel the need to carry spares.
    Thanks Graeme. I agree. I bought some wheel sensors for my D4 and borrowed some height sensors off Gordon for my first couple of trips in the 2010 D4 but have never used them in over 250,000km of hard and often remote work in the D4. I have just used the two spare wheel sensors on my son's D3 after his dog chewed and ripped two of them out. The sensors are the same but the length of the wiring and the built in clips are different so we had to use more cable ties. They work fine, however. His D3 is a 2006 V8 with over 275000km and it has also never needed any of the sensors replaced due to normal wear and tear or off road driving.

    Also check that the GAP IID works with your car. It is not compatible with the TDV6 version of the L405 and they had to modify the software/firmware for it to work with my TDV6. However, it still thinks the car has a viscous fan whereas the L405 has electric fans, so they appear to have slotted in the parameters for the D4 V6, and not made it fully compatible with the RRV TDV6. My GAP IID wouldn't even recognise my friends latest model Sport SDV6, even though I had the patch for the TDV6 in the L405. If you look at their web site they appear to think that all Range Rovers are V8's. When I rang them to sort out mine, they were very surprised that I had a V6 diesel.
    My GAP IID Tool works fine having obtained a new unlock code the the L405 VIN. That said I haven’t tried anything other than read & clear faults.

    Is yours a V8 or TDV6? Mine worked OK but didn't recognise the V6 engine until they sent me a patch. I wanted live values to monitor the coolant temperature so I needed the update. It is probably standard now on the latest firmware, although it still wouldn't recognise the SDV6 engine in my friend's Sport, as I mentioned.

    Hi BobD, yes mine is the V8 so that possibly answers the question. I’ll have to explore the unit further to see if I can access live data.

    You will be fine. It is only the V6 versions that are not covered without a bit more effort. You can see that they are not listed on their web site for the L405.
