I have had success with a land rover type WAS, from an ebay listing that seems long gone unfortunatly. In a moment of forethought, I thought it smart to order a spare, as it seemed like the most fragile part of a steering system, and missing a week of good farming weather over a $50 part is never fun.
It has unfortunately lead me down the rabbit hole of land rover style ride height sensors! It seems there is at least 2 different body styles, and 3 different arm lengths! I have attached some photos of the various ones I have ordered as spares, many of which arent very useful to me, especially the shorter armed ones.
Does anyone know where I can source one that has the longer style arm, but the thinner housing that can be screwed in from the back side of it? That is what I currently use but cant seem to replace.
All of these were sold as Disco 2 rear ride height sensors, I am more of a Land Cruiser person so not familiar with anything Land Rover at all, so any advice welcome.
I have looked at it, not sure I can package it safely on this tractor. But still doesnt fix the issue of a lack of consistency when ordering the LR product, would hate to be ordering them to put into a car as half probably dont fit!
Yes, they all output the same voltage from the same angle, as best as I can tell. The different arm lengths just make it difficult to use them when they dont fit right away where the other length ones fit!
There are 2 different ride height sensors in a Landrover, one for the level of the car itself and one for the headlights. The last ones can be mounted at the front or at the rear axel of the car. A quick search shows there are at least a few types of those , depending on what car they 're fitted. That might explain your extensive collection so far. If you have a type that suits you, try to find the o.e m # of that type and make sure you compare that to the one you’re about to order.
