Just some pointers.

Ive got the tow electrics to fit on the sport, didnt notice when looking on line that i needed to remove the rear bumper - is this correct? Doesnt seem it, but thats what the instructions say (its a 2011my)

If it is, could you advise me of the process...or if i can do it without removal of the bumper Mike

Ive got the instructions (came with if thats the topix link), just didnt think the bumper had to be removed!

Must be having a bad day - gallery was empty as was the topix link... Mike

I dont know if its the same on 2010- but I have a 2007 and managed to do mine without removing the bumper even though the instructions said to. The only things I removed where the spare wheel, passenger side rear light cluster and boot trim. A metal coat hanger was a big help too, for poking the cabling through on two places.
If you do have to remove the bumper its a half hour job at max and really easy.

Good luck.  2007 RRS TDV8 Stornaway Grey with lots of smiles..

The chaps that did mine (2010) did not remove bumper, but took just about every panel off inside! I was worried about squeaks and rattles, but it all went back like new! The spare wheel was removed, but that might have been just to make the routing in the boot floor easier

Looking at topix the instructions are totally different!

The online version you don't remove and mentions the reversing sensors. The ones supplied don't mention the reversing sensors and say remove the bumper.

Sorry for making a meal of this! Mike

Another question had everything in pieces and massively frustratingly stopped.

Light cluster PX side 3 cables out of the grommet - one to the bumper, one to the lights and a third which disappeared off - this third smaller cable wasnt replicated on the kits loom so i stopped to regroup and as the bumper was being difficult

Any ideas what this third smaller cable is - it went to a body tie not to far away and then on i couldnt see? Mike

Sorry cant help with the third cabling..... The only time I had three cables was when I put in the new loom....

Where dos the extra cables terminate inside the back of the car (behind the trim)? Only as it may have the tow electrics loom already fitted so it will then be a simple job of fitting the tow electrics plug and clicking it all together...

Give me a shout if you need advice on removing the bumper if you are struggling, pm your number and I can talk you through it if req'd. 2007 RRS TDV8 Stornaway Grey with lots of smiles..

Thanks mate...I couldn't tell where it terminated as I hadn't at that point fully removed the bumper...it was attached just below the bumper line to the rear body about below the door seal on the left side.

I'm going to regroup and look at what todo this weekend...thanks to the help here I'm a bit bclearer on the process...bar removing the bumper tread plate...if I resolve the spare wire I'll be good to go! Mike

To remove my tread plate, all I had to do was have the boot open and grab the front of the plastic tread plate (nearest to boot rubber seal) and give it a good pull towards you whilst lifting it up. This will then allow you to remove the plate from the bumper. I have done it on a few RRSports and none of the clip parts of the tread plate have broken. Just dont be shy in pulling it towards you.

Good luck. 2007 RRS TDV8 Stornaway Grey with lots of smiles..
