Thread: Essential D3 D4 RRS travelling spares

With the wheel speed sensors at the heart of all those systems and the expectation that a fault would have been stored in the ABS ecu, the cause should have been determined at the first visit to the dealer.

None of those faults would have stranded the vehicle in a remote area unless the terrain necessitated diff locking or TC operational, such as sand or mud. The suspension system's normal or off-road heights could have been selected then the appropriate fuses removed to prevent lowering.

Good one!

granted, but I would think again about taking it further when LR had zero idea at the time what had caused the problem, and follow my post, LR wanted to use my vehicle as a platform to find out if it was more generic fault, they were clueless at the time. so what option when you are say halfway to the Cape.. would you take the chance??

No I wouldn't have keep heading to the Cape because lack of TC combined with lack of the articulation of live axle vehicles could have made for "interesting" driving. However the nearest LR dealer should have been able to quickly identify the cause by the combination of the stored faults and the dependence of the other systems on the wheel speed sensors. "Clueless" seems appropriate.

Apart from tyres, the other thing prone to damage on rough tracks are the drive shaft boots (sticks etc). I now carry metho and RTV silicone (eg Loctite bluemax) to carry out tempory repairs. Oh and it works if cut not too big.

This may be useful to later model D4 owners. I think the suspension height sensors are VIN dependent. I had all these checked/confirmed by a Land Rover dealer service manager against my VIN.

Front Wheel Speed Sensor - LR013783
Rear Wheel Speed Sensor - SSB500102
Suspension Height Sensor (front) - LR023646
Suspension Height Sensor (rear) - LR023648
Brake Light Switch - XKB500110
Rear Suspension Link Rod Bolt (5 off) - RYG501580
Air Filter - PHE000112

The reference to "5 off" suspension bolts is from LRDirect website description. I haven't actually purchased any of these yet so can't confirm the bolt set.

Rough pricing comparison is about $700 from dealer versus about $600 from UK (e.g. LRDirect) but that depends on which supplier or maker you select on the UK site.

Cheers,
Scott

Yes the rear suspension link bolts come in a pack of 5.

I've found I can solve most issues with the IID tool and my MasterCard
