Reversing Sensors
« on: 31 August 2008, 15:07:12 »
Well a couple months after fitting them I finally got round to wiring them up yesterday!  ::)

Work a treat, although a little slow to kick in for my liking & a little bit too loud.
Will have to see if I can find a way of quieting it down.

Also beeps once when you put it in reverse, so being an auto it beeps every time I put into drive.  >:(

Parking sensors should be made a legal requirement for women drivers ,for obvious reasons. :y

I can beat even the best man at parking at anytime! :o :o :o ::)

But why bother with a sensor anyway when you can always feel if you have gone too far back!! 8-) 8-) :D ;)

Saw a woman practice that technique today in Sainsburys carpark. :D ;D  She was in a Mazda, the car she hit was a Rover 25.  ;)

I had parking sensors on my Mondeo.  The noise was horrendous when you got within a metre of anything.  I ended up completely ignoring the bloody thing and trusting my judgement.   :( :(

I always stop when I bump into something :)
