Fitted some on my Renault Trafic Van. However as they mount on the Bumper, and the bumper is low, I get false alarms on Gravel and when there is rain on them. Easy fit however , they were supplied with a holesaw which cut through the steel bumper too. Simply splices into the reversing light feed.

I guess if you wanted em on a 40 , you would have to use the stick ons as there is nowhere else to fit them.

You should have seen it before.... I had Gaffa Tape stuck on to hold down the wires Embarrassed

I've had one on the X300 for three years but the wires only protrude about 2 " from the boot lid.

Through time I might fit one of those built into the bumper units, my mate owns a recovery garage so he can guide me through the bumper removal process!.

Give the criticism a rest guys, He has tried and not taken the easy option of handing it over to the pros. If I walked around your houses I feel sure that as a Builder, I would spot some diy nightmares. People treat there houses as experiments, but put their cars on a pedestal. Your house is permanent, a car is usually fairly short term. I have done some rubbish work on my cars in the past. Thats how you learn.
rant over! Grin

Builders usually live in the worst houses as they don't like working on their own after a hard days work Grin

I need at some point to look at the reversing sensors on the Omega. Seems to have at least one not working as it bleeps everytime the car is put into reverse.

Told I will need someone to do diagnostics on the car to find out which sensor is dodgy though as dont really want to have to replace all of them.

Working sensors usually make a humming sound when activated - duff ones are quiet - you just need someone with good hearing to put their ears to each sensor in turn whilst car running in reverse. Tip keep your foot firmly on the brake - good mates are hard to find
