Great video Rick, I have fitted the same ones to ours (not finished the final wiring up yet). If it helps and not too much of a pain there is a rubber gasket in the bottom left corner when the bumper is removed and if you use a draw cable you could feed cables up inside the corner so they aren't under the door rubber. I guess not an easy job on such a cold day either.👍👍

Thanks Tim, I might revisit the job then if there’s a grommet, I’m not happy with the wires in the door (although there’s no chance they will rub) cheers 👍

Many thanks for your humorous and informative video😅

Great idea keeping the buzzer outside Rick, but as Tim mentioned, there's a big rubber grommet that already has a cross cut entry in it that is perfect for feeding the cables through.

I’m amazed in this day and age that a new ‘van doesn’t have parking sensors as standard. My 64 plate Ford Transit has them as does our 03 plate sports car

@@RickandHeather Hi, yes I spotted that. Always the same, I wasn't wanting to drill holes in floor to take power from battery to near side for USB sockets but only needed one as I got the cable down the vent tube of battery after I spotted you showing it on one of your posts. Tiny hole on near side, well primed, sealed and painted and will see me out. Carry on with the good work, I'm getting through all your videos slowly but surely. Your boss is like my boss, they just like to be the boss... lol. Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you and yours, lang may your lum reek...

Is your Reversing Camera not that good then to see the rear Bumper? You could have Scotched the Earth into the harness, might have been easier? All the lights obviously have an earth which would have been with the Reverse Light wire. Only problem with a rear Camera in the wet is the crap that gets sucked onto the lens!
