either you or me is missing something here mate. The bleeping in My Surf you can only hear in the Surf. You got a SSR G . Is this also an extra on this model? If not the civilian population in your area are at great risk. Ive wanted an external bleeper for ages and i'm interested in putting one on.

Ps: dose the witch have one on her broom.

Just glue on large pieces of rubber and reverse until you feel a bump then you know you are far enough back.
Just another hint from watching blue Peter, cardboard tubes and sticky back plastic, you still can't beat sound advice.

Nigel does not need parking sensors he needs the Sumo Suit especially when going to jobs around mums eh nigel! watch out for that fence

had a thought geoff.
fit one of them old codgers ear trumpets to poke out the back of the surf,to amplify the BEEP, and maybe take some of the incar beep away.
and no the witch not got one on the Broom.
there again m8 she dont need one, one stare from her m8 and you will move out the way.

Got them on the car, the are ****** marvellous!

I tried Koi's parking method, cost me £230 in repairs to the front of a Pug - wheel shape in bonnet, towbar through number plate!

Maybe I should invest...............

bought a color cctv min-camera and a pair of 2.4ghz transmitters to connect the cmaera to the sony tv in the front (NTSC capatible camera....come on!!!!). All runs off 6-12v dc. Transmitter has a range upto 300m in-doors!!! cctv down to 3 lux....have to re-fit that reversing light that got mashed at the pit last year!!

Sounds like over kill ? Well not when you hitch a 24ft caravan to the back of the surf making a road-train nearly 50ft long!!!

Also work in my babies bedroom (10 month old baby !!! not wife etc!!) to watch for her climbing antics when she is supposed to be sleeping.

Anyway toatl cost £15 for cctv, £19.99 for transmitter.....unfortunately £22 p&p as transmitter comes from HongKong!!! Didn't say that on the ebay page I looked at first said location UK...naughty naughty!!!

Defintely needed though as wife decided to flatten lamp post last year.....surf 1 - lampost 0!!!
