Tuned in to sus out bumper removal, know know exactly how. Bonus was how you removed the lucks spades from the rear light plug ans solderes on the piggy-back wires, that's going to be a really usefull trick forbconnecting the towbar 12N socket wiring. I don't like scotch-blocks either, so your solution makes a really meat way to hide the soldered connection. My opinion is that if you paid a "so called" professional to do that job, there's a very high likelihood that it wouldn't have been done anywhere near as well. Top job!
For future reference; the factory-installed sensor positions are marked on the inside of the bumper. They are not to different, but for ease of ‘measuring’, could be useful?
Just a bit of a trick for measuring the height placement, offer the bumper back up (just use one or two fasteners to hold it in place) and use the ground, ruler and a level to get the height, then use your masking tape and pencil to mark a wide horizontal line for wiggle room then you can take the bumper off and do your horizontal measurements in sure knowledge that as long as there's nothing wrong with the suspension/chassis then the height will be even. You could also get the horizontal centre line by putting two long planks/poles down the sides of the car poking out the back and taking the centre from those then use a level to mark centre on the bumper above that centre.
Hello, Thanks for the video. I did my mini exactly the same . The sensors bip at start ( I assume the car is testing everything including reverse light), but then it bips once every 3-4 minutes while driving forward, I can't figure out why... Have you had the same issue? Have you any idea why it could do that? Thanks a lot
Thanks, we've not had any issues like that. They only ever beep when it's in reverse (mine are powered directly from the reversing light supply), maybe there is a wiring issue?
Hi, the hole saw is 22mm diameter. One came with the kit I bought, it was fine through plastic but I don't know how good it would be if you needed to cut through metal? Cheers Larcs 👍

@@neiljarvis8911 Thanks, no problems 👍
Amazing video! You explained everything so easy, I guess I need to buy a mini just to try this
Thanks 👍. 🤣 time to start looking for one 😁
Amazing video looking to do this for the GFs car soon, Really glad to have an in depth video on how to get it done :)
Thanks, good luck sorting it out 🤞.
Cheers Larcs 👍

Thanks 👌. Merry Christmas to you and your clan too 🎄.
Cheers Larcs 👍

Thanks for sharing that, hopefully it'll help someone out in the future (or me if I do another mini).
Cheers Larcs 👍
Thanks, really helpful I’m go to try this next week 😀
Thanks, no problems. Glad it was of some use. Good luck fitting them 🤞.
Cheers Larcs 👍

Thanks, that's a great idea and makes perfect sense 👌. I wish I had thought of that 🙄, it would have saved me loads of time.
Cheers Larcs 👍
@@LarcsWorkshopsee my comment above. The factory has already marked the positions on the inside of the bumper.
@@peterpearce8867 Thanks 👍
Job well done 👍🏽✅
Thanks 😃

Hello,

Was your mum impressed? Great tutorial.
Thanks, she really likes having the reversing sensors.
Looking to do this soon, any ideas what kit you used? The eBay item number no longer works
Sorry, no. It was quite a while ago now. Just try and buy from a seller with good feedback. Good luck sorting it out 🤞
I was also curious. I think the Mini part numbers are 66200029749 for the kit and 66202180149 for the individual sensors.
Interesting! 👍
Thanks 😃
Cheers Larcs 👍
Hi what size was the saw thing please ?
Hi, the hole saw is 22mm diameter. One came with the kit I bought, it was fine through plastic but I don't know how good it would be if you needed to cut through metal?
Cheers Larcs 👍
@@LarcsWorkshop thanks very much. Really appreciate the response 👍🏻
@@aliyatesss No problem👍
Get on with it
