Failure point between the plastic welding of ducts cover and valve cover.

Finally a LHD candidate! I need to do mine and reading all the posts of RHD changes it sounds relatively easy in comparison. On LHD cars there is even less room to get in there and wiggle that sensor out, or even get near the heat shield bolts etc. Has anyone done a LHD sensor change on here by themselves, and if so, how on earth did they get near it? -------------------------

I bought the sensor and the special tool and planning to do it on my own soon.

I think its even easyer to replace it on LHD cars due there is no battery box on the way. Just remove airfilter box and you can start straight away with sensor/heatshield work.

Am I completely missing something or is the LH exhaust manifold temperature sensor change being made to be a few metric tonnes more difficult than it should be? The LR Manual procedure is only 3 pages long and the key part is: First you take out the cabin air plenum which is secured by 2 x 13mm nuts. Then take out the fiddly plastic stuff around the battery box area. Then get up on top of the engine (I use an old bit of mattress foam in a bin bag as a comfortable rest mat) and reach down the back where access isn't easy but it's a whole lot less stressful than mining your way in from the near side of the car. While you're in there change the turbo oil feed o-rings and feel good about how efficient you are. 2011c Vogue SE 4.4 Oil Burner

Now that’s a new approach! As I’m about to do this on my LHD, this might actually be easier than I thought. There’s not much you can move out of the way on left hand drive cars to get at that sod of a sensor, so maybe the back-door route might be better than tearing my hands to bits squeezing them in from above… -------------------------

I still think you'll need to use a socket with extension bars directly onto the sensor but if you can just about get a hand in around the back it should be a lot easier, particularly if the battery box surround is removed and the wiring loom in that area detached from it's mountings and shoved out of the way leaving a linear route to the sensor. There is NO mention of needing to move heat shields in the workshop manual and LR are seldom shy in creating lengthy lists of ancillary tasks to get into somewhere. I had a dry run earlier and got all the way to detaching wiring loom anchors in about ten minutes or so. I could have done this but didn't have replacement tie wraps to hand and I needed the car this afternoon. I think I'll get someone to assist when my new sensor arrives as fiddling down the back while operating a ratchet seems unnecessary self flagilation.

To change rocket cover this side you need to remove the injectors and to do that you need to remove the engine mounting bolt and jack the engine up about 10-20mm with wood under the sump etc them the rear injector will come out. Then remove rocker cover and replace etc. a little tricky to thread the bolt back into engine mount so use some tape around the universal joint socket extension to make it tighter fitting. |

Job done! I finally got the sensor replaced and must say it was nowhere near as challenging as I thought (thanks to your help here!).

To all the people that have replaced the sensor since 2019: is the new sensor holding up?
