It's worth checking the reflectors on your headlights. They do deteriorate over time and reduce light output.
My mind was made up for me. When I limped into the nearest garage with the brake disk holding the wheel in place they flat out refused to change the bearing. Only a hub assembly would do. Maybe they didn't have a decent press or perhaps they CBA but they only charged me a couple of hours to change the hub over so it worked out fine.
When I was in the same boat I had one of these fitted. It's still OK ~£25k miles later.

I'd recommend avoiding metalwork that is significantly cheaper than the majority of the competition.
Having bodywork welded in and painted is an expensive job that no one wants to do twice.
I needed two sills on my Focus a few years ago, found some that were almost a deal too good to be true. Got them welded in and painted (by a main dealer body shop, so the quality of the work should have been top notch) and they'd both rusted through again in under 24 months!
I agree, but that was touted as a LR original part. It seemed to have the stickers to prove it. Of course, there's no guarantee on the Bay of Fleas.
I did see a panel for £75 on ebay (collection only) and doors are available. I was hoping someone could cut out the wrinkled arch and flush weld in the new but it's in the "when I've got a spare grand" category of stuff that will never happen :(
For now it's lathered in rust prevention - yes even the alloy bits - and I'm living with it.
Sad news, my rear left wheelarch is very second hand these days after I brushed a stone wall :(
\o/ Hooray!!
wouldn't it have some sort of filter?
Out of those three my bet would be the Solenoid seals. I'm not sure you can put the NRVs back in without noticing.
Whatever is in it right now, unless you're going to flush the whole lot properly. They're not meant to mix, although I suspect mine has! It's now on OAT but for a long time there were some suspicious colour mixes going on...
If there was a Range Rover medal, you should have it! Looking forward to the photos :)
Forgive the dumb Q but can you sand the paint to remove the orange peel or will that just destroy the gloss finish?
Stand Down! :)
jacckk is right - there's a Dunlop arrow on the main body of the part. My eyes are getting old but it's visible. I guess I'll soon be underneath the Duchess again...
Hmm, it does indeed have Dunlop on the rubber gaitor bit... but is that enough?
I'm a bit grumpy :(
I ordered this: https://www.island-4x4.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=ANR4687G+&x=0&y=0
and got this: https://www.island-4x4.co.uk/rear-height-sensor-9702-britpart-anr4687-sold-with-warranty-p-35227.html
I'm not very pleased with Island - especially as the part I got is marked "Sold with no warranty" across the top of the page!
Harumph :(
Commiserations you don't seem to be having much luck :(
Stop it, you bad man :)
I guess it all depends on Marty's work schedule really...
Any news, mate? :)
Duh, found it :)
In the How do I fix it thread. Thanks Gilbert!
I seem to have lost my copy of RAVE. Could someone link/send me one? It might be my imagination but I thought there was a link on a sticky on this forum but I might be dreaming. Or maybe Gordan was getting nasty letters?
Thanks!
