Thread: Crank position sensor

is this like yours?
Gems Range Rover P38 Engine Crank angle Sensor 4.0 4.6 on eBay (end time 24-Aug-10 10:12:06 BST)

bingo, thats the one i need. So did they send the wrong one, or are there 2 types for that era

anyone?

Vern I have no idea if they are interchangeable but it appears there are two types for the same years. This I can only deduce from online sellers and the pictures of the part. Maybe a trip to the Stealers with Vin number would help answer your question.

Will ring karkraft tomorrow as they supplied it. was hoping someone from here could have told me that they are interchangable

Please let us know what you find out. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is curious.
Cheers, Paul.

I know that 4.0 to 4.6 are different slightly and that the mountings in the block are very different. The 4.0 has two posts while the 4.6 has two threaded holes. Also the angle the sensor is mounted on is diffferent pointing to two different flex plates.

When I swapped the disco to a 4.6 I had to change the mount back to the 4.0 and alter the mounting angle to match the original so the sensor didn't foul in the flex plate grove.

Th sensor that was on the 4.6 was different to the 4.0 both in plugs, mountings, sensor pin length and angle. But the 4.0 after fitting the 4.0 plate to original spec was fine. Could be a 4.0 that you got?

well i found out that they changed, one to suit 95-96 (blue with a lead and plug on it)the other 97-98(white one with just a plug on it), they sent me the wrong one and won't have any for 4 weeks
