O.K. I'm new to this and am quite willing to get shot down but has anyone tried to repair a height sensor?
As far as I can see, in electronic terms, these are very simple devices. For those of you who aren't into electronics, if you've ever turned a knob to change, say, the volume on a radio then you've done what a height sensor does.
So, in my simplistic thinking, if you could replace the bit in the middle then you could refurbish a height sensor.
When a replacement costs £50 - £60 each it's got to be worth a try.
Furthermore, since the Range Rover was designed electronics have moved on and there are now totally sealed versions of these with guarantees of 40,000 actions.
Does anyone out there have any faulty height sensors that they'd be willing to post to me and I'll give it a good try and report back. If so PM me and I'll supply address. Don't worry if I don't get back quickly I'm not on here daily.
I'm also wondering if it would be possible to create or modify a height sensor to prevent, or delay, the 'out of range' fault.
