She's telling me that The Chav (TBE) might have to go  .

That will end 17 years non stop Omega ownership for me

The Zafira has alot to live up to...

STEMO and I appreciate our reversing sensors, costing less than £10 on e-bay, against the £1000 as a new accessory, and easy enough to fit. Hardest job is get the cable tidily from rear of car to top of dash. Originally I taped it along the side of the central tunnel, but this week I tidied it up by rerouting it through the tunnel, see pic above. I did it on both my Vectras. I did the 2008 SRi saloon first, then the 2007 Design estate.

Buying under £1000 used cars is always risky, not to say exciting. I was shocked to find a rear heater duct in the estate that I had not found in the saloon. I thought the crook who sold me the saloon had removed it, but I was wrong; checking the specifications, rear heater ducts are not fitted to SRi saloons.

[Doctor Gollum]

This is why having the brochures is so handy.

Also, they built 20 billion Vectras, so you can afford to be choosy.

Personally I would have sat the parking sensor display at the bottom of the display screen or run it out of the screen vent on top of the dash, but I'm a bit ocd like that.

Regardless, it's good that you're tinkering rather than fixing

I wondered where mine had gone Terry.

Why didn't I think of that? I can still move it. The plug on the end of the cable would not go through the heater vent. I did consider cutting the cable to put it through a drilled hole in the dash, but did not fancy resoldering the cables.

[Doctor Gollum]

By dash top vent, I meant the one for clearing the windscreen 

Not the easiest place to get to though

That is trickier, can't easily do it now. The location at the bottom of the display is attractive, but of course that is on the trim strip that conceals the screws that locate the heater vent panel, that goes on last. I should need to tighten the screws first, hoping to feed the cable through a gap between vent panel bottom and fascia, then glue display to trim strip. Will investigate.
