Not sure i understand what you mean

, but I just connected mine up and have had no problems at all with then

mine went beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep all the time as soon as it was in reverse; looked ok on a T4 cleaned everything still went beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. So I disconnected beneath the bumper and now I get one beep when I first select reverse on a journey to warn me the sensors are not working. I quite liked some of the other sensor suggestions above.

Or I will stick with using my two eyes which have not yet let me down

To use the original Rover sensors you need a BCU for them ,and this will need to be wired into the vehicle harness,then enabled with T4

As no one seems to understand what you were asking.
They are only transducers so if you are not going to try to retro fit the MGR system chop the plugs off the one on the bumper and give them a try with your after market kit. They will either work or go BANG!!! (or not work at all) and my guess is they will work maybe not as good as the the ones that came with your kit but if it was me I would give it a go. So go on be brave and don't blame me when it goes BANG!! Good luck!!

Too late I fitted the after market kit in full and sold the wiring loom with the old sensors.
