my new salesman! :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
while were on the subject, had the second build in today (tapered type), again they have buttered up the wrap around wing bit, but im sure they will get it right pretty soon. that gets me onto... read my deal in the for sale section!

Range Rover Blues:

--- Quote from: "Thrasher" ---There are no "sensors" at the bumper end .... not on mine. I have a little box of crystals under the cubby box ISTR, if a force travels down both chassis legs, the crystals are agitated and kerboom (there might be auxilliary "packs" in the sides - I can't remember- will read RAVE later. The other style has a BIG yellow wire running to the front of the engine bay ... not sure how that one works as it's not the system I have :-)

I'm only guessing but I think yours is the later type with central sensor, the early type had one sensor behind each headlight.  They are Orange and the wirng is yellow.

Hi,

Mine is the older system which you describe - it has orange boxes behind each headlight and a thick yellow wire from each one which is labelled Air Bag Sensor Loom - Kinda gives it away doesn't it.

Will this make any difference to fitting a winch bumper.

Cheers

Rob.

My 95 300tdi auto has sensors behind each headlight. 1 thing you could do is unplug each sensor!!!

My air bags dont work since the battery was disconected year and a half ago. I have the abs light always on flickering away. Passes the mot each time.

Just an idea

Tyke:
I've got the sensors behind the headlights with a winch bumper fitted and after a few good clouts from rocks and good pulls from the winch etc, it ain't pop the bags . . . yet.


But hey . . . . theres time . . .




The penalty for not disconnecting the battery for a couple hours, before  messing about with the air bag system is what the dealers will charge you to clear the faults from the ECU or the mot fail when the warning light refuses to go off . . . unless your are James . . .  :wink:
