Good grief, ten hours book time you say? That's what, £1000+ at main dealer rates?

10 hours is daft to change a sensor. You could remove and refit the engine in that time.

Fwiw, the absence of a dipstick is effing stupid. I also hate gesture internal lamps etc etc. Another backwards and frustrating invention - I guess sensors are cheaper than a nice quality switch. 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17 |

From the image and the RAVE description above, it looks to me the sensor is on the outside of the sump, not inside. Ron B. VK2OTC 2003 L322 V8 Auto 2007 Yamaha XJR1300 Previous: 1983, 1986 RRC; 1995, 1996 P38A; 1995 Disco1; 1984 V8 County 110; Series IIA |
