P38a reversing sensors and dash cam

easy-shaft · Dec 1, 2022

My genuine mirror finally fogged and became unusable.
I replaced it with a stick on one for the mot.
I haven't driven this thing for 18 months, in that time, I've been driving a tiny car with reversing sensors. I never saw the point of these, but now, I want to fit a set to the p38.

Travelling thtough a city, I have regular issues with highly vonruble, unlit, reflectors removed, non‐motorists cutting me up or riding 2 inches from my back bumper. It's only a matter of time until I will have to prove I did everything possible to avoid the accident. So, maybe it is also time for front and rear dash cams?

Does anyone have experience of an all in one kit?
For reversing sensors, have you seen kits where side sensors can be configured differently to rear sensors?

Currently, the car has no parking sensors or camera.

All advice great fully received

I once had some one tail gating very very close. he ended up cryiny though when his front end met my tow ball. He had to admit it was his fault. Don't worry about them being too close its their fault if they hit you

Never felt him hit me. Needs to be a big vehicle going at speed to spin a P38 Range Rover unless you're really tanking it and then some

One young pavement terrorist damaged my last car on his way to work) I called Police (I feared made up claims later). He refused to pay towards damage. 3 years later, the little turd was still trying his luck with the "we bull**** any claim.com". 4 years in now ‐ nothing heard for 12 months. Perhaps he didn't get off so lightly in later accidents?

Put sensors on mone from a Eurocarparts kit that was about £20 years ago. Had to get a tungsten carbide holesaw off eBay because those bumpers are seriously solid steel.

Rear camera I hid in the tailgate but a numberplate one would probably be as good. Ties relay into reversing light loom by rear light cluster.
