Just wanted to share an information, if you are experiencing ABS problems due to the pressure switch failing, do not pay a fortune for a new pump or a switch. I have changed mine with "ACDelco 25530882 Brake Pressure Wiring Switch" and it works fine with P38 ABS pump. It is plug&play, and bought for $80 from amazon. It is exactly the same part, no need for any modifications.

That is a great find
I was really shocked when I learned the price of a new unit, and the fact that LR doesn't sell the switch alone. Then I found old SAAB pressure switches, which were really expensive, and finally, with the help of Google Translate, this part number was written in a French forum and bought it.
Here is the photo of what I got from amazon, exactly the same unit with ours, for the 1/4 price:

Looked at this on Amazon. $108.00 free ship to a US address. By the time postage is added and the tax man has had his share it will jump quite a bit in price. But cheaper than the bloody stupid prices i have seen for it. So a good find. Nothing on Amazon UK though.

Problem is there is as far as i can see no overseas shipping option. They will only ship to US addresses. Bit of a bastard when you think it is made in Europe but we can't buy it. They are available here but at bloody ridiculous prices.

Maybe one of these suppliers can deliver cheaper:ACDelco Automotive Parts
Maybe but should we have to search to find one? They are for sale on US eBay for $161.00. I know that because i followed a link to them from the Google search. But if you go on eBay UK and select worldwide theoretically they should come up but don't. It would seem to some extent that the EU is blocking the ability for us to shop outside the EU in some way. At one time you could go direct to US and buy things now you can't without a lot of buggering about. It beats me how something made in Britain or Europe can be shipped out to the states and sold for less than half the price we pay for it here. Or it is just not available here. Something is seriously rotten in Denmark i think.

Thread size and switch pressures? Sure we can find one much cheaper just as good if not the exact one.
In my search for RF unit came across several correct ones in US for peanuts, problem they won't ship outside US, don't know why they had different frequency ones . (I did ask 2 in US and 1 in Canada bstwrds)

I took the risk and it works, no more abs fault, weird brake issues and fear of the £1000 they want for the pump (in Turkey).

That's good to know then. Amazon are shop keepers they know sod all about what will and won't fit. Bit like Land rover parts men actually.

If just someone could say roughly what the switch pressure is and thread size, then I have Ali Baba acc and there's dirt cheap ones of good quality available from Asia.
All the on off pressures are listed in RAVE. Thread size don't know.

There must be a number of guys on the forum who are back and fw from US and have addresses of friends in US. I'm over twice a year.
Hypothetically speaking if a friend in the US sends you a birthday or Xmas gift it is not liable to duty.....I think.
It's not as if we're speaking about vast numbers of the units.
I think it has to be marked "Gift" and declared to be less in value than $36.00 or something like that. I know someone who used to get boat radio and GPS stuff from the USA marked as cleaning material. Because there is no import duty on it. Stopped when he got a letter from customs and excise asking him to go in person to pick up a crate from Southampton docks, marked "Cleaning material." He did not go let's put it that way.
