abs sensor td4

hi guys new here.

my parnters dad has got an x reg td4 landrover and it has got an abs fault.

Plugged it in to diags and thats telling me its a front left abs sensor which needs replacing.

My dilemma is that all the usual places i get parts from (gsf, bullseye etc) all want about £180 for 1 abs sensor!

On ebay i have found some brand new for about £40 delivered.

now the question is, why are they so cheap? Are they not a direct fit? Or is it just they are likley to fail sooner?

Land Rover Freelander ABS SENSOR FRONT Right/Left - 4410327970 , SSB101031 | eBay

I got two off ebay for £30 for my 2001 petrol they work I was quoted £144 upwards to £300

i got one off ebay freelander 1 £15 works a treat .over 12 months now

My £40 quid job from the local indy is fine.

Fitting was a barsteward though...

Cool thanks.

Is it best to drill out the sensor or to take the hub off and tap it out from the inside?

Also, is there a marker of how far to push the new one in?

There's a magnet in there and I chewed four or five Heller drill bits up.

When I have to do the other side I'll take the half shaft out 'cos I melted the swivel/cv gaiter heating it up :doh:

There is a liner that pushes into the hoising and the sensor fits into that.

The elevtric couplers can be a faf to route through the inner wing.
