R75 V8 Inhibitor Switch
Hi does anyone know if this is a ford or rover part as I’m struggling to find one?

Do you (think) it is the selector position sensor that prevents the engine cranking, other than when in P or N? The fuel cut-off switch behind the glovebox maybe? Maybe the immobiliser unit (the one that often gets water damage)? Unless you really know for certain which, it's perhaps best to describe the symptoms you are having.

The Rover part is NLA (if it ever was available), but can be easily repaired by replacing the ball-joints: https://www.sgs-engineering.com/b9-metal-ball-socket. Generally, but not always, failing to start some of the time in "P" is a inhibitor switch problem; never starting in "P" is a selector rod mal-adjusted or damaged. Inability to select any gear position, "N" or "P", is a broken ball joint, generally the one at the gearbox end of the threaded rod. The inhibitor is a Ford part, and is actually called a "Neutral Safety Switch". Ford Part-number MOTORCRAFT SW5713 https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...ge+sensor,4584 https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...t=4584&jsn=942 This video is for a Ford F-150 truck, but it has a very similar gearbox to the Rover 75V8 (4R70W instead of 4R75W), and uses the same Neutral Safety Switch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNG2G-51K0g Lots more information over on the The Two Sixties, specifically for and by ZT260 and Rover 75V8 owners. You really should join; it will save you a bomb in the end. Did for me. David Last edited by DeeJ; 8th July 2022 at 11:03.. |
