Got the ' active suspension " fault message on the dash so borrowed a mates code reader and found it pointed towards the front right sensor. Crawled underneath to give it a squirt of WD40 but from the way it was hanging off the chassis , realised that wasn't going to cure it !!
Just a case of age I think so ordered a new one from Landrover Supermarket for £50 and set about replacing. EASY PEASEY !! Couple of screws , loosened with the help of Mr WD and new one on with in 15 mins and working !! Is there an easier job on the old FF ?

An easier job to do....putting fuel in it.....mind its cost more to do!

Good to know thats an easy one to sort  If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

And it doesn't need calibrating? Previously..

Seems not. Car sitting perfectly on all four corners. Went to full height and down to entry with no problems.

And so it should for £50!

£50 for a height sensor? .

Job I have to do soon as the arm attached to the suspension has a crack in it, I'll get round to it one day...

Height sensors are not plug and play, they have to be re-calibrated to the vehicle

Exactly.

Height sensors are being manufactured to closer tolerances these days, so replacing a sensor w/o a calibration will not throw an immediate fault, but in the long term the suspension will constantly be readjusting to try to meet the demands of a sensor that is not calibrated properly.

In a best case that means a fault sometime (which will force a recalibration anyway) or in a worst case it means replacing worn components such as the compressor in the foreseeable future because they are overworked.

Doing a calibration is a 15 min procedure with practice, the first time it should only take an hour or so including reading up on what need to be done. And you need a diagnostic tool capable of preforming a recalibration.

You pays your money now or you pays more money later.
