VCV questions if you please

Hey all just a few questions

Ive convinced myself that the VCV is faulty so i going to bite the bullet and change it!

Is the Ford part the same?

How easy is it to change and can it be done in situ?

And lastly, I've read that the VCV should be relearned but not essential, is this the case?

There are lots of threads on this. In short though, yes it's the same as the Ford part and the number is on here somewhere, they're tricky to change but not impossible and no, it's not necessary to do a relearn.

Here's a good place to start: https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic63786...p;start=15 Darren

It's about a 30 - 45 minute job and as said you dont have to do a relearn.

I got mine from PFJones, really good well worth doing I found.
There is a tightening torque for the fixings applicable in the WSM, but not absolutely essential just don’t over tighten.
I managed to do mine with everything else left in situ, the biggest thing to be careful of is that you don’t drop the fixings by accident as it’s very easily done.

Other than that no problem at all. ____\We|Will|Win/___

Well I fitted it today........horrible job! I have big hands and struggled the whole way through!
Great tips on tools to use, I found using the flexible 1/4” tool great for the slack and a combination of what ever to tighten it all up.
Now let’s hope it relearns itself! 2023 Defender L663 V8
