Hi,
New to the forum, and live in Italy, where parking "rules" are completely different:
1) As most Italian cars are scuffed/dented etc any way, parking by touch is normal
2) On street parking attendants encourage you to double park if you are "only going to be 5 minutes"
3) Zebra crossings themselves are regarded as good places to park whilst you nip in for a quick espresso
4) There are no zig-zags arounf zebra crossings.
So unsurprisingly, very few Italian cars come with parking sensors.

Hi all,
New member here - so first off "Hello everyone!".
So, to business. I'm considering fitting aftermarket parking sensors myself, so a quick question to those of you who've done it.
How do you get the wires from the sensors into the boot? Is it easy? Does it involve drilling? As a bit of a spanner novice, should I steer clear?
(sorry that was 4 questions)
Thanks, Kev.

If u gorra ask id leave alone
Parking sensor kits are generally not difficult to connect up, but if you have absolutely no electronic know-how, a P38 Range Rover with its complex electronics is probably not the best place to learn how to do it......
Obviously you need to drill into the bumper to fit the sensors (usually a circ drill bit is within the kits) then hook up to a 12v source and ensure wiring is all secured. Easy.
Or there are a lot of auto electricians offering mobile installation of these aftermarket kits for around £150 which is probably better and a lot cheaper than messing up the Rangies electronics!!
