I have a 99 Disco II and need to replace the Hub and Sensor, and wanted to get everyones thought on whether to buy it from Roverlands (used for $225) or new From British Atlantic for $400. I don't want to be penny whise and pound foolish and be stuck replacing it again in 6-12 months...Thank you for any input you guys may have.

 

Call and ask if they know how many miles are on it. If it's close to what you have, i wouldn't bother. Give this guy, Will, a call, he always way underprices roverland.

Only $25 diff, but check these guys out for new parts,Terry is awsome to deal with

Just curious, why do you feel you need to replace the hub?

 

You should be able to get a low mileage used hub and sensor for $125 shipped don't be afraid to haggle. Call Justin at Lucky 8, will Tillery (roverguy.com) or paul grant (look over on LRO classifieds for email).

 

Disco Mike - I did my diligence this time .....I've been getting the three amigos, and here is the fault. I don't know how to tell wheter it is the Hub or the sensor....so I was going to replace both. I'm open to ideas though.....

Guys is the Hub replacemnt a DIY - or do you need some special tools and know how?

 

Its easy but you need a large breaker bar and socket to remove the hub nut and then you need a torque wrench that goes up to 360 lbs. You also should have a 3 legged gear puller.
