what a load of bull, tell the indie you are reporting him to trading standards, put the car in reverse, the rear parking sensors will operate, or not operate, then drive forward, and the front ones come on, very easy to find which ones are fauly, and mostly they are not faulty, as its the loom, my loom was wired uncorreclty/routed from the factory, so it degraded quickly, hence the fault.
I have watched my indie remove my from bumper in the time I have taken to make him a brew, the rear takes a little longer, but 15 minutes tops 07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater Smile)))

Well the saga continues of the parking sensors!

Finally got Evans Halshaw to agree for our indie to repair despite the extortionate cost for taking bumpers off! They found a faulty sensor and a broken wire so they have repaired broken wire and replaced sensor. Whilst putting back together they found another break/split in wire so they repaired that too. From my understanding it's just been taped over? We didn't get a copy of the invoice they sent to Evans Halshaw just the job sheet.

All fine and dandy till,last night when the sensors stopped working again! Now we are stuck as to what to do because if we take it back to the indie they will just say another sensor and charge us £300 plus for taking bumpers off again to sort and even if it is the original repair they not going to admit to that so we are out of pocket which ever way we go!

Surely rather than patch repair wires they should have just replaced the loom as it was Evans Halshaw paying for all the work? We could have had looms and all sensors repaired but now we are left having to risk it going back for them to say something else so we to pay extortionate bumper removal cost or we are going to have to go somewhere else and foot the bill!

These parking sensors are a right pita!

Can anyone recommend someone in West Yorkshire that is a trusted indie that won't over charge for parking sensor repairs?!

I think it's definately time you found a new garage as £300 for taking bumpers off is a pure rip off. They shouldn't be recharging you for a job that's just been done, poorly at that. A new loom should have been fitted if there was more than one repair needed because the loom doesn't cost much. 2006 4.2 Supercharged Buckingham blue

just take it back to Evans Halshaw, they have a lot more clout than you have, plus it is highly unlikely they have even settled the bill yet, as most garages work on 90 days 07,TDV8,Black, Black Heated leather all round, Rear Entertainment with Headpones & Remote, TV, DVD, Pure Dab Digital Radio, Sidesteps, Adaptive Headlights, sunroof, now working fuel burning heater Smile)))
