Hi Guys,

I know this topic has been covered alot of times but i cant find a definative "how to guide" to replace the rear sensors - there has been some nice pictorial explanations for the front replacing but not the rear.

Is it necessary to remove the rear bumper plastics? or is there anyway to remove the sensor and replace with the bumper in place? (without the need for specialist Stealer tools)

Ive got a replacement sensor to do (albeit the actual inner sensor head is an oblong shape instead of round) but im assured it is for a 2006+ FFRR.

Lastly , the sensor needs to be colour coded - any do's or dont's as to paint / laquer e.t.c.?

this is from rave and it appears that the sensor goes into a holder of some kind.. ... - .- -.

It looks the sensor holders have a moulded snap clip which means it probably won't come out without getting behind it. CURRENT : FFRR 2012 4.4 TDV8

you might be lucky and be able to get your hand behind to release the clips. ... - .- -.

I've had a look and there seems to be a black plastic lower boxed trim which unless you have hands like a child instead is impossible to get into CURRENT : FFRR 2012 4.4 TDV8

just a thought, one of my sensors wasnt working and it was the wiring that was chaffed and not a faulty sensor..is it defo that your sensor is faulty..

btw you can get to the wiring easier.. ... - .- -.

Not sure.... The sensor (passenger side rear) is not clicking , I thought the chaffed wiring usually occurred on the drivers side? CURRENT : FFRR 2012 4.4 TDV8

mine was on the off side, but might be worth a look to see if it is the wiring.. ... - .- -.

do you pressure wash yours much, could be water causing them to fail.. ... - .- -.

Yep many times , I suppose that could be the cause - crap quality then , they should be IP rated! CURRENT : FFRR 2012 4.4 TDV8

hi everyone, i thought this was as good a place as any to post my question. i have just picked my car up yesterday and spent ages reading through the owners manuals...

my button on the dash flashes and gives of a long tone, which if i have things right means there is a fault.

is there any easy way of finding out what the fault is?

thanks stu Current: TDV8 (3.6) RRS HSE

yes there is stu, switch on the ignition without turning the engine over , then stick the range into reverse..go round and listen to each sensor , it should make a 'clicking' noise...if a particular sensor doesn't then its the one that's faulty or the sensor wiring is .. ... - .- -.
