    CV-joints and ABS/TC lights

    G'day folks!
    Back on track again ...almost. Changed the CV joints on the TombRaider, truck drives fine now again. But now the ominous ABS/TC lights are on, despite me not touching the sensors at all. Anything I did wrong? Do I have to "reset" the system somehow? Need to know urgently as the truck is due for its RWC and going there with these warning lights on will incur a fail . Sorry for the stupid question, but I am not used to such fuzzy and modern stuff on Land Rovers...
    Any advice appreciated!
    Cheers
    Johannes

    There are people who spend all weekend cleaning the car.
    And there are people who drive Discovery.

    If you have changed CVs then you are most likely to have bumped the sensor.

    Push the sensor down/home into the swivel pin housing to ensure the air gap is correct.

    was there an issue with the number of notches on the cv joint (tone ring ?) being incorrect on some replacement cv's.

    98% of all Land Rovers built are still on the road.
    The other 2% made it home.

    Cost difference between Britpart and Genuine seals: £2.04. Knowing that your brakes won't fail at any moment: Priceless.

    That was about the nr of teeth on the reluctor ring which is within the wheel hub not about cvj's

    Thanks for all your advice! I had to readjust the sensors, this made all the difference. Now the warning lights are off as they should and I can focus my attention on the next issue: replacement of the cross member .
