Thank you. I actually had a look at Ian/mcafee2's saloon this afternoon and saw that - should've put it on here, sorry. The main thing though is that all car versions use the same transducers so mine being a Tourer isn't a factor.

Maybe other things will be, but that won't be....

New Cisbo front & rear sensors arrived today. Their Vermillion colour is almost perfect against the Copperleaf so happy with that. Sunshine and warmth threatened tomorrow, so will set-to and hopefully get 'er done.

Display monitor will sit on top of the rear view mirror so will have to dig out the fish wire to run the supply front to back on top of the headliner. I'm also fitting a small round lit switch for the front sensors which may mount onto the front interior light. I'm not interested in having them come on and stay on for 30 seconds when applying the brakes - a manual switch will be fine for parking.

Dougie.

Yay. That's exactly what's gonna happen here tomorrow.

I have fitted sensors to one of our 75s and having issues. it is an original dealer fitted rover kit part number VUB 002190 and its fitted correctly. you can feel all 4 sensors vibrating ect but no beep when you stick it in reverse and only the middle 2 sensors work. Would any think its the big white box as it has been sat around for a long time.

I’d say so Josh.

Two consecutive days of warm sunshine have meant it's been an enjoyable job so far. I pulled the rear bumper off first, removed the old sensors from the holders and chucked them as a couple were damaged and the other two were minging. The new Cisbo sensor bodies were a little loose in the car's original holder sleeves but the outer lip butted up nicely, so I wrapped some duct tape round the bodies to pack them out a bit and used Gorilla glue on the back of the outer lips to secure the sensors to the holders. They look fine.

I've positioned the control box on the rear of the right-side body panel which involved stripping out all the trim from the C-pillar rearwards. The existing wiring provides the +12V ignition feed, +12V reversing feed and the earth, so it was straightforward to solder & heat-shrink them to the supplied feed to the new box. The new rear "loom" i.e. the 4 wires from the sensors to the box were straightforward to fit after removing the old one which runs through a grommet in the rear of the spare wheel well and out to the sensors.

It's (apparently) standard fare for front sensors to operate when the brake is applied and then for 30 seconds or so afterwards. I don't like that at all because reasons, so I've mounted a proprietary switch on the interior light so I can manually turn the front sensors on & off when needed. I fed the wiring to the D-pillar through the headlining along with the wiring for the display monitor which is now fitted on top of the mirror as planned (see suzublu's photo above). Tested it all and it's A-ok. I'm dead chuffed with the result.

The front sensor wires to the control box were only just long enough - by that, I mean they were too short for comfort by about a foot when it came to the farthermost front left sensor. I had to offer up the bumper to about 4 inches from the car and then lift it up to its normal height before just managing to connect the feed wire to the sensor. I had nothing left to play with at the back so it was a close call! Care will have to be taken when removing the front bumper in the future, but it made it by the skin of its teeth.

Job should be done tomorrow. I'll post pics.

Dougie.

Sunshine? What is that please?

PS well done

I got the job done today with 99.5% success and the car went back together with no extra screws left over, which never fails to please.

One front sensor is unfortunately not working so I've requested a replacement from the seller. It's a pain because I'll have to unbolt and move the bumper forward again to connect it (because guess who unplugged the connector before refitting the bumper

) but hey ho. I decided to paint the sensors as their Vermillion colour was too light, but that only took a few minutes with the touch-up bottle. You'll see the bust sensor on the front outside passenger position as I didn't paint it.

I'm really happy with the switch for the front sensors on the light assembly. The 21mm hole cutter supplied with the sensors was exactly right for the switch, so happy days.

Dougie.
