I have taken it to landy specialists who tell me it is a wheel race sensor ..

Do it yourself. ABS sensors are easy to fit for a DIY mechanic.
Good luck

£240 to supply? That seems way to expensive
I wouldn't know where you could buy them from. I bet they're only available at LR

Any company with a Border Holdings,(Britpart) account can supply them - how much cheaper is down to how greedy they are.It is a genuine Wabco part - not cheap sh--e.

Just an update

Found a used part ( wheel speed sensor)from an online breakers based in cambridge. £60.00 including postage,part came of a 2004 TD4 and looked new!
20 minutes to fit and the warning lights went off after driving a few yards.

Thanks folks

I love it when a plan comes tgether. Didn't Hannibal Smith of the A Team say that?
Glad to hear you managed to fix it and save a few quid. Online car brakers, what will they think of next
