Yeah they swapped the LR000681 Sensor - Crankshaft on mine. £38.50 for the part, £255 for labour and diagnostics. Personally I don't have the mechanical confidence or time to replace parts like this myself hence I gave it to LR. Took 2 hours for them to do once the part was in. |

£352 for a crank sensor is a right rip off.

Yes, it's almost plug in and go, but the gap is crucial as is how clean the face is.

Pegleg - I agree it was expensive but you have to consider that half that cost was the diagnostics of the fault, especially since the car does not have an error code for it and it had to be investigated manually by LR. Once you know what the fault is then yes you can look around and pay peanuts for the fix if you can afford the time! |

bigalf - What type of diesel are you using? I had the exact same problems when I was using cheap tesco diesel, and since I switched to premium diesels from BP and shell I haven't noticed these issues anymore and also the car seems to be quieter when running. It's expensive but worth a try next time you fill up. |

Very interesting and informative thread chaps. Almost reminiscent of when cleaning and regapping your plugs and points worked wonders! Happy days. |

Thanks. Will give it a try upcomming weekend. Did you only clean the sensor or also the wheel/disk? Any tips for removing the plastic cover behind the wheel? Lot of questions for such a small sensor !

I only cleaned the sensor, the wheel/disk looked too hard to get to. But that still did the trick.
