Jake:
Have you tried gently tapping the top of the sensors with a hammer?

not yet its persisting down with rain i,ve done that on other makes where they have moved back  :-k

Jake:
Mine where being a pain for ages and our workshop manager suggested trying it
They just came out of their seating postion enough to play havoc with the system but you'd never spot it
Like i said, tap them gentle, all 4 of them.
 :D

Range Rover Blues:
Do the blink test.  If it comes back with several instances of sensor out of range then the sensor in one wheel is moving, or the wheel bearings has at some time come loose and moved the sensor.  Also the stub axle bearings inside the front stub that support the CV can cause problems if badly worn.

If it comes back with an open circuit fault then possibly the wiring is breaking up.  Favourites would be the wiring dwon the the front hub as steering and suspension flex effect it.
