TD 5 wheel sensor fitting

Mark Ormond · Jul 22, 2020

Discovery TD5
Wheel bearings are good but possible faulty sensors
Are they difficult to fit I understand it’s a very precise job or they don’t work
Can anyone comment on this job
Thanks Mark

Just an allen key. They dont work in the same way as an RRC or D1 where the fit is that fiddly. At least on the back axle anyway, ive not done the fronts.

All depends if you can get the allen key undone, I had one that was seized solid.

Cheers

Dont assume the hub is not at fault until you have read some codes and tested the sensor.

If I unplug 1 wheel sensor the ABS and TC won’t work
Which don’t bother me besides possible MOT fail what other problems could I encounter or cause

HDC won't work properly, if at all.

What is HDC please

I suppose he means Hill Descent Control.

You suppose right! Can't think what else it could be.
Frankly, unless he has a working Diff Lock, (which as we all know is not common) he will be in a worse situation without all 4 wheel sensors working, than if he was driving a D1,

If you go to here you'll find lots on these blessed things and if you read my thread you'll find the place and possibly price of the one I bought.
