The rear nearside sensor on td5 is broken in half, I have removed it and ordered a new one, I have read the re-calibration is needed after I fit the new one, can anybody help,

Disconnect the battery BEFORE you disconnect the broken ride height sensor and replace it and there's a reasonable chance that you won't need to recalibrate the SLS.

I think it is a bit late for that warning....LOL
Sounds like he has already done it.
To @Graham Allen , if it does need calibrating, see if you can find someone local with a nanocom, it is a fairly painlees job to do witha tape measure and only takes 20 mins tops.

Brian I bought one of those diagnostic tools from Paddock ( icarsoft ) can you calibrate through that?

so when I fit the new sensor and take it off the jack, what will happen having not disconnected the battery, will it inflate but not even with the other side or not inflate at all?

Sadly, I fear you might have thrown a few quid away. The diesel Disco 2 is not fully OBDII compliant so that iCarSoft thing might not work. The only code readers for DIY work known to work correctly with the Disco 2 are Nanocom, Hawkeye and Lynx. The LR Main stealer uses the Testbook T4.
That being the case, I can't answer whether or not the icarsoft will do what you want it to do.
Edited to show non-compliance (my error)

If you unplugged the sensor after more than 1.5 hours after the ignition was off and more than 30 minutes after a door was opened you might not need recalibration though
I'm sure you meant the opposite

Did you mean NOT fully compliant

Actually it's not OBDII compliant AT ALL

I certainly wouldn't argue with you but in it's description it says it is fully obd11 compliant, but that said it is not relevant to my question about the sensor changeActually it's not OBDII compliant AT ALL

I was speaking about the D2 not about that tool...so you have a fully OBDII compliant scantool for a non OBDII compliant vehicle

Please have a look at Paddock spares, This tool is specific for the Disco,I was speaking about the D2 not about that tool...so you have a fully OBDII compliant scantool for a non OBDII compliant vehicle

Yes, of course I meant not compliant, I've said it often enough. I'm having troubles with this keyboard sometimes, it's a wireless one and sometimes it seems to just drop out ad come back again.If you unplugged the sensor after more than 1.5 hours after the ignition was off and more than 30 minutes after a door was opened you might not need recalibration though
I'm sure you meant the opposite

I've seen all the advertising about this tool not once, even since it appeared... it's bullsh*T, even with the few systems it can communicate it's not reliable cos the OBDII protocol meets the D2 specific one(which is far from being EOBD) and it's mixed up

I'm sorry for the confusion earlier, but I did mean that the diesel Disco 2 is not OBDII compliant. The petrol Discovery 2 was compliant very much earlier, possibly even before 1999. The diesel Discovery did become compliant with the release of the Disco 3 in mid-May 2004.
This is where the confusion is sometimes "hidden" in sales adverts; it does list the Discovery 2 on the Paddock's website, but fails to clarify whether they mean just the petrol Disco 2 or all Disco 2's.
The second unit on their sales page; the LR11, will apparently read ABS as well as other systems, but the page does say that it will not program settings. It still only states "Discovery 2" without stating whether only it's the petrol engine or all Discovery 2's.
I still stand by my statement that the only code readers known to work properly for DIY work on the diesel Discovery 2 are either Nanocom, Hawkeye or Lynx.
Once again, I apologise for the confusion.
