yeah it's the front shocks i need to replace. So can i just jack it up from the normal jack spot? do i need to do anything special like compress the springs? Or is it really just as simple as jacking it up and removing the old one and replacing it?

Where i live there is NO ice ever and only a few days worth of rain. I'm going to pull the fuse for a few days while I look for a used sensor and see how it feels. I might just leave it off. I plan on selling it at the beginning of 09, so pretty sure I'll want to fix it before than no matter...

awsome! thanks a lot. kinda bugs me that I'm being quoted 650 dollars to replace just ONE of them.

two cold soakers, just finished reading the thread you linked, which includes passionate, conflicting arguments. Since i don't drive offroad much at all, I think I better fix it rather than bypass the abs

sorry, jhmover. I asked the same question again before I saw your reply. Thanks. now, assuming this is the correct problem, can anyone tell me if abs sensors are the same as wheel speed sensors?

it definitely STARTS stuttering before my foot reaches the floor. if I bought your sensors, do you think I (someone with limited mechanical experience) could put them in myself? How difficult compared to say, changing my pads or replacing my fuel pump (both simple tasks i have done myself) And...

Ok wait, I think I'm describing it wrong. I suppose it IS when my foot goes to the floor. of course my foot goes to the floor when i come to a complete stop from a slow speed. Sorry about that.

no it only happens when i come to a slow stop at slower speeds. City driving. I specifically asked the mechanic if i could bypass abs and he said no it's impossible. So what would be the harm if I ditched abs? I've never driven a car without abs, i don't know what it feels like. Just means my...

I took my land rover in to diagnose what i would describe as a stuttering feeling/sound when I brake at low speeds. Mechanic diagnosed as a bad wheel speed sensor and harness on front left wheel. He's quoting me $650+ to fix. Seems high to me, but then again, I'm very poor :o, could someone...

I replaced a window motor on the front passenger door of my disco and now there's a constant alert/alarm that rings whenever the key is turned on. It continues the entire time the car is on even when driving. It sounds like the beeping that normally sounds when the door is open with the key in...

Thanks guys. I'll be driving it 3 miles from my office to my house today but thats it. I'll get in there and try to do the oil pan pickup thing tonight. Then on monday I'm taking it to a different mechanic to take a look. Thanks again LVpine

The dealer is going to charge me $100 to check my oil pressure and he suggests that I just have him replace the pump. The problem is that it seems he's only going by that noise to decide that the pump is bad. I also forgot to mention this is a disco 1. Does anybody know if low oil pressure would...

I just had my heads reconditioned and my head gaskets replaced by a local european car mechanic. There is a new and very pronounced noise coming from the engine. I had a ticking before, but this is like a deeper, double ticking. It almost sounds like a chugging. and I don't think it speeds up or...

How much for: (seperately) Oil pump secondary O2 sensor Power steering pump exhaust head pipe (i'm not sure what this part is called, but I need the Y piece cut off in front of the Cats. the part with the flanges ?) Passenger side seat adjusting. The thing on the side of the cubby box...

seriously no shipping? I'm in Vegas. not too far.
