Two months down the line & i have only just finished the job of fitting these non drilling parking sensors . the fitting of the front bumper went reasonably well untill i hit the corner retaining screws that would not come off & the front corners were well rotten & so i had to repair & did a good job & treated the area afterwards , but i must have had the front bumper on & off at least 3 or more times , eventually i got it up & working .So i had a few days rest before i started the rear , which i thought would be easy now i was experienced in the fitting , so after i fitted the rear & not many problems up to then i put the bumper back on & the dam thing would not work properly , so i removed the bumper again & again & eventually i rang pdi to talk to a fitter & he said to try the front ecu on to the rear & prove that that is working . which i did & it proved that the ecu was faulty, so they posted me out a so called new ecu which was also faulty , next they sent me one that was totally alien for my car!!. next they sent out a complete new boxed parking sensor with all the wires etc , which i did not want as the wireing i had installed was working correctly & that the ecu in this box was not compatible to my wireing , as you can imagine i am totally ****ed off by this time & feeling sorry for myself , i had been out in all weather giveing it my best shot & the girl in the office must have thought i was selling the blasted things on fleabay & it took some convinceing for her to send me the right part , while this was on going in the brochure it says that covering the foil sensor strip is optional ! with underseal , but talking to the fitter he said its essential that you cover it with underseal or it would drop off eventually , so guess what i had to do ?, take the fuxxing bumper off again , eventually i have both parking sensors fitted now , i am glad in one way that i found the only bit of rust on both corners of the bottom front bumper , that i replaced with some dexion & then painted , wax oiled , & will now survive the car.
I am pleased to say that this new car for my wife as passed the mot with no problems whatsoever . i have sent the remaining parts back to pdi another £4 , no courtesy call or postage return yet , i am glad that it is all finished now, would i do it again , answer NO , but i do know how to remove & replace bumpers on a 147 55 t/s you bet i do .
Now for all those that are interested to see if they work efficently or not you will have to wait & let me have a drive in it & i will give you a report back if you wish , its took best part of 8 weeks wih a 7 day holiday in between ,
We are very happy with the purchase of the 147 & i will post some pictures when i get sorted with the camera pixels , god loves a trier.
