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.

Thanks to Alex for his gallery pic Thumbs Up It looks to be external and therefore a DIY job, but is it 'plug and play'? I don't know.

I'll try and have a look over the weekend.

Spoke to the local LR dealership and they don't have any stock at the monent nor an ETA on how long it will take to order...

£352 for a crank sensor is a right rip off.
They only cost a few quid and not difficult to fit.

Okay, your car is fine now, but i'd be seething if i'd paid that much. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

Yes, it's almost plug in and go, but the gap is crucial as is how clean the face is.
My old R75 had a crank sensor problem, i just cleaned the face very carefully and reseated it. It was still fine some 90k miles later before i sold the car. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

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.

Thanks to everyone for all the responses!

So this morning I decided it's time to clean that sensor. Took the wheel off, and the plastic cover behind it. From there the sensor was easy to access and removing the sensor was straight forward, remove the bottom bolt and slightly tilt the sensor towards the belt pulley and it comes out easily.

The CKP sensor before the clean up.

Some engine cleaner, an old tooth brush and a few minutes later.

And finally reseated back in position.

30mins later and everything was back together and closed up.
This was an easy DIY as there is only one way that the sensor can be seated.

Took the car for a nice long drive and thus far the problem seems to be resolved. Will monitor it over the next week or so, but at least now I know it's easy enough to refit should I still need to replace it later on.

Hi guys,

Seems I have the same stalling/jolt issue and I'm guessing I have (hopefully) a dirty CKP too. Is your problem with jolting still solved?

Best regards
Richard

Hi Richard,

I have not had any issues/jolts since I cleaned the CKP, it's only been a joy to drive since. Thumbs Up

I hope it solves the issue for you as well.

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 Smile !

Anyway, thanks a lot for all info! Will let you know whether it solved my jolt problem.

Richard

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

The plastic cover was easy to take off once the wheel was off. There is a section in the inner wheel cover that allows access to the bottom of the engine, only a couple of screws to take out.
