Replacement parking sensor looms – 2nd group buy

tomcattom · 10th January 2015, 12:51

Following the success of the first group buy, my intention was to hold a few looms in stock at a time for one off buys, however there seems to be enough interest for me to warrant running a second group buy. So here it is.

What do I get?
What you will be getting is a direct plug and play replacement PDC loom with improved soldered joints which are appropriately weatherproofed with adhesive filled heatshrink. You will also be supplied with 6 fir tree zip ties which you can use to secure the loom to the bumper foam inserts In the OE manner.

Saloon vs Tourer

The looms are compatible with all saloons and tourers from 2002 onwards (VIN 245554 onwards). When ordering please specify if you have a saloon or tourer since the looms differ in lengths between these models.

I can't currently build looms for cars prior to this since the body connector changed and I don't yet have a pin-out for it.

What it will cost?
The looms are priced at £35 including first class P&P.

I’m happy to ship outside the UK, but the following surcharges will apply to cover increased postage costs. Delivery outside the UK will be 5-10 days.

Europe = £3.00
Rest of World = £6.00

How long will it take to get one?
The looms take me a about an hour to assemble, so given the likely interest it could take me a month or more to get all the looms built and shipped once I have all the parts in stock. I will be assembling these in what little spare time I have so please be patient with me. I will keep this thread updated as I go.

Do I get a warranty?
I will provide a 12 month warranty on all looms I produce which will be effective from the date of shipment. I will operate this on a return and replacement basis to keep things simple.

How do I get one?
I will need an up-front non-refundable deposit of £15 to contribute towards the cost of the parts I need to order in bulk; I will take the balance of payment once looms are built and ready to ship.

Therefore if you want a loom, please start list below and include whether you want one for a tourer or a saloon. I’ll drop everyone a PM with my bank details to transfer the deposit. Bank transfer is preferred but I’m happy to discuss other options on a case by case basis.

I will keep this group buy open until the end of January, after which you’ll have to wait for the initial orders to be completed before I can take further orders.

Questions?
If you have any questions, please post them in this thread and I’ll answer as best I can.

Hi. I would like to purchase a loom for my 2005 180SE saloon. Thanks. Lee

Saloon set for me please.

Hi Tom,
I have an early 2004 mk1 saloon.
How involved is the install procedure for the parking sensors? Does this loom just plug in somewhere on all cars (bearing in mind that my car has suffered extensively from Project Drive)?
Is T4 required?
Is the only other requirement the 4 OEM sensor units?

Sorry for my ignorance and all the questions, but if the install is fairly straightforward, you can definitely put me down a saloon loom.

Cheers.

Set for a Mk1 ZT please!

buster12 · 20th January 2015, 00:54

Yes please Tom for my zt-t.

Cheers

Hi Tom
1 saloon loom.
2 Tourer looms please.

I believe you can use the Tourer loom for both models as it's longer ! IIRC.

Shame MGR changed from the 12 pin plug on earlier models as they seldom suffer corrosion due to no taped joints exposed to the weather.

Your looms however should last the life of the car as they are properly weather sealed.

Well done on sorting this
