Thread: Pre painted rear parking sensor. My10

Do the sensors have to be original Land Rover?

All 4 MY10-12 rear sensors are the same part# and the D4 rear uses the same part#, so one from a wrecked D4 might be the cheapest.

Ok so I bought a new sensor (unpainted original Land Rover part) and then took my bumper off. Turns out it was just a broken wire. I resoldered the sensor wire and put it all back together correct. It's currently working perfect.
So now I have a spare brand new original Land Rover parking sensor if anyone wants to buy it??

How much effort did it take to get the rear bumper off?

For future reference....

I painted my parking sensors when the bullbar went on. After painting them I was told that you can't paint sensors. Arh crap I thought, too late now, put it together and guess what - everything works perfectly.

I will add that is was not metallic paint used.

Rear bumper comes off easy - 3 screws in each guard, about 5 under the bumper and then unclip the black rub strip ontop which will expose 5 or 6 screws along the top.

Yes it's pretty easy to remove and put back on.
There's an online video that shows how to do it from Powerful UK.
Just make sure you put down a blanket so you don't scratch it.
I have heard you have to be careful how thick the paint is on them. Apparently you used to be able to buy them pre painted.
