Cheers, Alfapat - the rear plate only has a single nut, so I think I’m good there ….. I’ll give it a good soaking and see how I go. I’ve not disconnected the pipes from the rear ARB - am hoping that there’s enough play in the pipes to pull them back without any further disconnection, other than the rather grotty hanger further back from the valve block on the chassis. |

Hey, in short, I've made it worse, depending on your point of view

As the valves appear to be electric solenoids could you not just put a external power source to them to open them, as I would have though that is basically what the expensive L/R tool does. I am assuming the are 12 volt with a couple of wires going to them of course, and just connect some form of pressure bleeder like a garden sprayer to the reservoir to force fluid through in a similar vain to a brake pressure bleeder, only a though. As you have a spare valve block perhaps you could experiment with the solenoids on that to see if they will open.

It’s a good thought …. I might try that on my sacrificial block and see what happens ….. but I’ll need to stop the system from instantly switching off first, otherwise suspect nothing will happen. |

Could be that you have made some progress there . Would the new light warning (red anti roll ) just telling you now the system is needing bled . I got this after changing front pipes . I explained in this forum how I manually bled the system and it eventually bled through after running a few days. I manually bled one nipple as the other one sheared but it worked .

Ok , I am back on here , I have a s/h block and in order to eliminate my fault , I am going to swap the pressure sensor on the front of the block re code C1B11-1D(AF). I have checked the fuse for Active roll and it fine .

It can be done without unbolting the valve block. Bit tricky. I used a ford/Peugeot oil filter tool that I cut up, I had it in my toolbox anyway, they are cheap to buy though. Search eBay and you will see what I mean |

Yeah that's the one. I used it to remove the sensor then had to cut it in half to get the new one tight. There may be other ways to do it and I'm sure someone will give some input |

Ok I’ll order up , looks like it loops over the pipes in situ and since they should not be fastened with a large torque. It should come out .

Hi guys - sorry, been busy with work getting in the way of RRS valve block fun. To get the sensor off, I bought a cheap 27 / 32mm box spanner from Homebase, then cut it to size, so that I could get it over the sensor …. Also unbolted the block from the chassis rail to make a bit more room.
