Just to be safe, am just about to replace both front and rear discs and pads, having had the red warning light come on for a brake sensor alert.

Question is: Is this just one brake sensor activated or do all have to be replaced when replacing the discs/pads etc.??

only two sensors james and only replace the one which is worn.. ... - .- -.

I replaced my disks and pads 2 months ago.
My first surprise was that I only have one sensor for front pads, and on for rear pads. I only have the front one dead, I can re-use the rear one as the contacts were not used.

I don't know it is normal to have only 2 sensors, but I didn't see wires on the opposites sides...

only two sensors raf, one on the front near side [afaik] and one on the off side rear.. ... - .- -.

Thank you Scarey, nothing different here. One in the front left, and the other on the rear right

Be carefull removing them as most will shatter as the plastic gets brittle with age and heat,,,

The vehicle only needs one sensor - reason being the pads are supposed to wear at the same rate in normal conditions 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded

Yes, works well that system, except when they don't wear at the same rate, which is what caused a three hour ride in a big yellow taxi on my way back from Scotland!  Range Rover-less at the moment - Pining!
