To be fair, it was wrapped in about three roles worth of tape and hadn't actually failed. Maybe I'm being too critical Wink 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I found a radio that was installed with twisted wires and sellotape once - yes actual sellotape.

Shame they swapped the weak crappy CDL wiring with equally crappy stuff. At least make the length long enough that you can stuff one end into the A/B pillar and the other end up into the door so that no stress happens on the old original rubbish.

And solder the joints!

I was in at one of our local alarm/audio specialist. They were trying to problem solve a so called specialist LR convertor vehicles which had problems with reversing camera. The joints were wrapped in decorators masking tape!

Mine used to have parking sensors on the front when I got it.

I found the control box when I was fitting a new radio aerial.

Parking sensors, on a Defender?

Aren't you supposed to stop when the other car alarm goes off?
