Hi all

First post on the forum after purchasing a high mileage Queen a couple months back.



After fixing the major coolant leak I knowingly bought the car with (aux cooling manifold had cracked and needed replacing) it had been smooth sailing for the past 500 miles.

I drove 100 miles down the m5 yesterday afternoon to Devon, no issues and when I went to start the car on the driveway an hour later I had the restricted performance warning, then a few moments later, engine fault, gearbox fault and then the engine shutdown.

I left it for an hour and it started up again fine, no errors on the dash at all this time.

I scanned with the Gap tool and these were the fault code found.

My guess is the crankshaft position sensor is at fault and needs replacement and the gearbox fault is a secondary code caused by the former.


Have any of you replaced the sensor yourself? I can’t seem to find a ‘how to’ in wiki or online..

I’m without my tools down here but if it’s straightforward and doesn’t require specialist tools, I’ll give it a go, however if anyone knows a recommend land rover specialist in the Torbay area, let me know.

Any troubleshooting tips would be welcome.

Thanks
Sam

If I remember rightly, the crank position sensor is on the right lower passenger side engine, accessible by removing the wheel and arch liner and it's there right in front of you. Can't remember what size spanner you need, but 20 minute job. Hope this helps.
