About to start fitting my parking sensors, but could do with some help.
I can't seem to find any wiring diagrams to confirm the colour of the wire for the rear reversing bulb.
Also I can't see how to remove the light cluster as the manual says remove two nuts from the inside,
but I have removed the cover inside but no nuts visible!

Just replied to your PM Ray.
No need to actually remove the light cluster, unclip the connector from inside.
My reversing wire was grey with a green stripe.

Sorry Ray, I’m not qualified to give that advice.

You could try sticking the van in reverse and putting a meter on the wire.

Made a start today, and guess what? The live to reversing lights colour is: grey with green stripe! So have spliced into that wire and like you I found an earth lug just where I wanted it. Tomorrow I will fit the sensors and hopefully everything will work OK.

Removed Plastic on bumper, Drilled holes in pre-marked positions, fitted sensors, ran wires through bumper and up through pillar to position of controller. Connected up and checked.......All OK!      (dunno what all the fuss was about!!)
