evo-mark Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 OK .. i admit it i can't revers park i've just got my hands on a brand new dispatch van (my first van ever) and i struggle to judge the distance of things behind me i know if i go to far i will hear a crunching sound but there must be a better way than that i've looked at parking sensors but they all seem to show photos of sensors that need to be fitted using a drill my van is leased and i have to hand it back without holes in the bumper please help me awaits sarcastic comments from cooper Quote
Pilot Pete Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Dont reverse Park I'm gonna go and inspect the rear of the westy for parking dings! Quote
evo-mark Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 i can reverse park .. i live in a terraced street where i have to reverse park most days out side my own home but i just can't judge the back of the van , maybe because i look over my shoulder in the car now i need to use them big shiny things on the sides of the van just tell me where i can get a good cheap parking sensor Quote
evo-mark Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 its a van, just touch park.......... that would be my answer , if i didn't have to stump up a bill for damage Quote
stu999 Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Take your van and some old cones or similar to an quiet car park and have a practise. Honestly, after a while you will never look back (literally!) - I find its a lot easier using mirrors... Quote

evo-mark Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 why old cones do new cones not have the same affect OK now to find a quite car park , that's about as easy as reverse parking my van cheers Stu will do my best to do that mate Quote

Pete already googled and ebayed sensors look at the size of them sensors , looks like i need a bosh drill to fit um also wireless would be better . or risk the chance of more holes in the body Quote

Scottish Bloke Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Mark, we fit shed loads of these at work, drilling required tho. if you give me a shout, I'll fit you a set, for a VERY reasonable sum Shouldn't be a problem drilling, after all you are enhancing the vehicle Rich Quote
iiyama Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Reverse parking using mirrors on my van is a pain, (LWB Tranny). And the reason? The b****y mirrors magnify the image!!!! Ive seen reverse sensors that can be stuck on. As said above though shouldnt have thought getting them fitted will be a problem though as your enhancing the vehicle. Just as an aside though why not give the leasing company a bell and ask em?? Quote
