OK guys end to original post. New bracket received & fitted. No problems and at the moment, no EAS faults. Sensor heights now all match. See attached picture, one on left is incorrect one & one on right fits. You can see the hole & stud positions. Thanks for all suggestions & comments.

Spoken to Island 4x4 & Britpart and it seems a packing error has occurred with replacement brackets being sent out. Thanks to Britpart & Island 4x4. Hope it arrives soon.

@p38guy.......Big favour. Is there any chance you could photograph your front left sensor showing the angle of the bracket and sensor?

Thanks for all the opinions everyone. The kit I got was from Island 4x4 and looks like the kit shown. The bracket does not line up with holes in the car without the sensor misaligned. Must have the wrong kit. Will check with Island 4x4 tomorrow and report back.

Thanks you kevwill Must have the wrong bracket otherwise sensor will be upside down.

Thanks p38guy, can I ask a stupid question, on a right hand drive, I am assuming Front Left is Front Nearside. So In EAS software, FL connection fault is front Nearside.

1995 4.6 HSE Just replaced front left height sensor due to EAS Fault FL signal error. Original was 360 degree type but replacement is 160 degree with bracket. There is no way the bracket with 2 holes & 2 studs will fit the existing holes and line up properly. I fitted it without the...

@marc Sorry, fitted the sensor last night before I saw your post. I will try & do a continuity measurement but the car is off to Ashcrofts tomorrow for a Flex Plate change. Interestingly, I could not fit the bracket as per instructions as it would have placed the sensor completely out of...

My kit looked like the attached photo for Front Left Sensor for 1995 4.6 i) sensor ii) bracket iii) harness with red tape iv) heatshield v) fixings vi) instruction sheet Notice the harness has red tape around it, the RH side has green tape. The sensor I took off my car had a flying lead & no...

Marc I am just about to fit a Front Left sensor to my 1995 4.6. The kit supplied to me from Island 4x4 indicates two different kits are available, STC3579AA for front right STC3578AA for front left Both have a bracket, sensor, fixings & a wiring loom. This loom is DIFFERENT for each side. Green...

Taken from another site, have a read on Compressor Clutch Failure newrremedies

I had a similar problem. Watch the temperature gauge & turn on heated screens, head lights & heater full. If the gauge moves up & back down when all turned off, then its a poor earth.

Not trying to suggest it could ever replace a Nanocom or any other fault code reader but for less than £15 total, might help someone trace a fault.

Sorry Saint...in the presence of two great minds is humbling

@Wammers Interesting theory.....how could I be sure it wasn't what you suggest. I have every faith in my mechanic.

I am sure you all know about this but for those that don't....here goes. If you have an Android phone, download Torque from Play Store, there is a Lite Version & the Full version is only a couple of quid......get yourself one of these...

Recently, I replaced all 4 ball joints, shock absorbers and a polybush kit. I was unaware the kit contained replacements for the rear radius arms but luckily for me ..... they did. See attached what my mechanic found when he came to replace one of the rear bushes. This appears to have...

Old one removed, new one fitted......son of a b.... to get the old one out. LPG stuff blocking easy access. Inner wheel trim removed for better access. Glad that the wheels now go where the steering tells them too....

Thanks for that Wammers, will do.

Seems to need a new shaft. Cheapest I could find was here ...ANR3698 | Steering Shaft including UJs
