Hi folks,

No doubt this has been asked before, but I have searched for my specific question and am unable to find the answer.

DTC shows a fault with the rear left outer parking sensor. Is it possible to remove and replace the sensor with the bumper in place or does it need to be removed.

I've read several other posts regarding similar issues and it's been mentioned that the wiring could be corroded. Could someone point me in the right direction of where to check please.

Many thanks

I had one go and tried to change it situ. Alas it was a bumper off job. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

Hi Steve, I did think that would be the case as it's a bit tight there, thanks. It didn't help that it was packed full of mud too, so that might be part of the failure issue perhaps.

Many thanks

Make life easy for yourself and remove the bumper, it is quite a simple easy job and doesn't take long, then you will have all the room you need.

Hi Col, thanks, will do. Funnily enough, I just watched a YouTube video on how to do it. If the weather is not too bad at the weekend I'll give it a go.

Many thanks

If not going to do it before the weekend, spray the screws and clips with wd40 or similar for a couple of days first as they do rust up a bit. I always replace screws like that with stainless steel ones and copper slip makes it a little easier to undo next time if needed.

Good advice, thanks Col 2010 RRS 3.6 TDV8 HSE Galway Green

Well, I thought I'd have a quick go at getting the bumper skin off before starting work (working from home). I managed to get everything undone/removed bar the two screws (one each side) that secure the skin to the rear lower part of the inner arch, both are rusty, typical, as you said Col.

I've cleared out the mud behind them and soaked them in plus gas. I've ordered stainless screws that will arrive tomorrow, so once I've got them off, I can replace them.

Thanks

Well fixed the parking sensors, dropped the rear bumper skin off to find the brown wire on the left outer had snapped.

Soldered the wires together, sleeved and the refitted, all working as they should
