Did multimeter test got a reading from multimeter so assumed it was hub
Changed that for a new one 60 teeth
But had to use old sensor only had had new rear sensor
Now got a speed reading but 3 amigos back again aaaarrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh
Tested it with nanocom again
Low reading so ordered a new sensor waiting for delivery fingers crossed
 
Yes it did but I got a rear right because that one had no voltage
But when we sorted front left the rear sorted itself out don't know why
Now put a new sensor on front right cleared all faults took car for a drive thought we fixed it
Got a speed reading from all 4 wheels as soon as I went over 8 kph slabs stopped communicating got car upto about 30mph bong bong bong a aaaarrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh fault now front left low reading this phoo king car is now frying my brain what little there is
I will keep going at it until I either fix it or die trying wish me luck
 
YIPPEE eventually sorted I think I ordered another new front sensor fitted it cleared faults then took it for a test drive no bong bong bong
So it looks like the front hub I ordered came with a cheap faulty sensor with an intermittent fault because when I did multimeter test sometimes I got a reading and another nothing
 
Hi sorry I can't remember just bought them off eBay like a prat I suppose I could check my purchase history but been that busy with work and trying to sort fault out
I ended up buying 3 new hubs with sensors chasing it from one wheel to the next and back again then buying 2 new front sensors from jgs 4x4 and them sensors sorted it out
So from now on I'm going to stick to buying my parts from jgs you live and learn but hopefully got it sorted

In fairness, there are some other fairly well respected companies in addition to JGS-4x4 who also trade on Ebay such as LRDirect, Bearmach, LR-Trade Parts and some others.
In all cases of online purchasing, even with some new parts, the initial approach should always be "caveat emptor", and even more so if used or second user parts are being purchased.
I think it might also be fair to say that as the Discovery range moves forward, the larger parts suppliers are going to find less room on their shelves for a large stock of parts for the earlier versions so many of those Ebay sellers could become a bit of a "lifeline" for owners.

I agree with your comment it was my fault in a way I bought the cheapest I could then I was told about the hubs with wrong teeth and all that but now I've learned a lesson
Now I've found a supplier that supplies good sensors I'll stick with them until I get let down with something or their price is a lot more expensive also depends on what item is
I've just ordered some clear front indicators off them waiting for delivery and they turned out to be the cheapest but they aren't mechanical or electrical only plastic so not much can be wrong with them (we've all heard that before) apart from not a very good fit
I'll still buy from other suppliers if jgs don't do it or price is megga
