Found Dessy367 - I did try and phone him today but there was no answer - will try again, thanks

Thanks for that HL - had a quick look today while at work and saw some at £75 but wasnt too sure about the others. :confused:

Would anyone be able to recommend an ebay seller for these parts? Front passenger side and rear driver side abs sensor for Y reg 2001 TD4. Thanks :) This is in advance of knowing what I need - different garage had a look, front sensor is unplugged! so he needs to check if its working and will...

Very true - best to be philosophical about it I guess. Learn and move on! But I am gratified to have my instinct re-inforced (albeit I should have asked before jumping in with both feet) so thanks for all the good advice once again :)

Had a look at LR Fred - I see there is someone in Airdrie so not too far away, thanks.

Interestingly enough I mentioned this to Dick Turpin today who informed me that it wasn't front offside sensor (this was the drive shaft that was done) that was showing fault! Near side front and offside rear. Made me wonder slightly that did!

He sent me elsewhere for the driveshaft - I think it was £140 so assuming re-furb with hindsight! Altho they also failed to mention that! The lights were on before the shaft and had been intermittent for a few weeks or so before sticking on. It was after that when I got the driveshaft done. I...

Am in Glasgow! Any good steers much appreciated :)

I did! I went to them because I read a couple of good recommendations on another forum when I was trying to find somewhere to get my driveshaft done last year - totally didnt expect them to rip me off! I just paid the 45 quid and left - he wanted £250 before he would order the bits then today...

:( Yeah my work colleague who was kind enough to take me to pick it up offered to come in with me and his take was that 'had he not been there they would have tried to screw me' - I don't class myself as a helpless female and am not particularly risk averse but I was glad he was there if I am...

Would you be shocked to hear that today I was quoted £760 odd to supply and fit 2 sensors (£240 ish plus vat each) and this was the 'cheapest' he could get them! giving that total (to include an MOT) - this was all - no other extra wee things to pass the mot as apparently this was the only thing...

Anyone had 2 done at same time? One front and one back - what do you estimate would be a reasonable cost to supply and fit at an independent not a Landrover Dealer? Just trying to get a bit of an idea before agreeing to an expensive fix. Thanks:)

I have both of these also!

Hmm - have not a clue then!

MHM, the 'how to' by Northern Irelander'? Yes but in that case I have no idea what is going wrong - the new cable is now damaged and I have no idea what I need to do different, - seriously peed off now have spent significant time on it today and still another 2 to do!

I have tried to wade through all the threads even remotely related to window regulators! Unsuccessful attempt with an ebay kit today resulted in damaging the same bit of wire that was damaged on the one that was taken out:confused: Can anyone advise on how to tension the cables and to make sure...

Yes nothing worse than having to repeat the same stuff over and over! I found the 'other' same questions when I put in fbh to the search - I think I must not have put the right search words in the first twice before asking - I knew it sounded like a fan but had no idea what kind of fan...

Doh! Well there you go - another dumb question from a newbie then! This forum is great for people like me, so thank you for all your wisdom!:):)

Hey Mark2, thank you for that - found it quickly on mg-rover forum via google - so it seems, if I read it right, that I needn't concern myself about it as it is normal?

Hi another problem I have encountered with my 2001 TD4 that I hope someone can help me with - I have just noticed yesterday and today that when I switch off the engine there is a sound of a fan running under the bonnet. I hadn't been aware of this prior to that time but a bit worried in case I...
