I fitted a set of Quanan sensors to a previous Jag I owned. Absolutely reliable with no false 'beeps', even when wet etc (unlike OE FL2's).

Ill check the instructions tomorrow. I had a main dealer fit mine at a negotiated charge of 」100 and they enabelled them. They look and work exactly like factory fit, beeps over the radio. |

Yes, your quite right, it's a bumper off job, which itself is very straightforward and uncomplicated. Looking at the instructions, for the PDC, its a simple enough job. All the work is done in the boot of the vehicle. The majority of the mucking about is in making sure the holes you drill for the bumper are correct. I'd offer to do it for you, but your miles away. Alternatively get a dealership to fit the kit for 」100, they can then enable it for you. |

Came back from dealer, third time lucky. This time they have fitted a Valeo set c/w greater angled wedges. Touch wood, so far seem to work very well ??? MY13 TD4 Black and White manual - Gone

No fancy sounds, just the regular 'beep, beep, beep'. Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!! Gone - 2008 Freel2 HSE Santorini Black Hello - 2010 RRS TDV6 3.0 HSE Santorini Black |

Reversed into my garage tonight at a slightly odd angle - both front and rears were giving an alternate long beep between them...sounded like a Met Police Rover SD1 from the 80's with its old fashioned siren on Foraging near Gaydon....

Hello, is is possible to disconnect front PDF from system, last time about year ago one sensor broked and hole system went off because of it, it was huge bill to pay for finland lr dealers to fix it, if i remember correctly it cost around 200-300euros huh!.

Quite simple, pull the appropriate fuse in the boot. Alternatively get a new rear only PDC ECU. Funnily enough I have a new spare I could sell. |
