JameZed Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Wondering if someone can help, I went to Longleat yesterday, silly I know I took the Zed through the safari. Assumed everything was fine until I realised a monkey had ripped off the rear parking sensors. I know these are not a standard item and a dealer fit only. I'm looking for the caps alone, they seem to be plug and play, the wiring is still intact. I've been quoted £220 from nissan, they say I have to buy the whole kit. So I'm wondering if anyone knows what actual kit nissan use so I can purchase the parts seperate. Thanks for the help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 GLOL :lol: Sorry, I was expecting this to be about a garage who had ripped you off, not an actual monkey physically ripping them off! £220 seems quite reasonable for the whole lot. Can't help any more than that, sorry. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhackyWill Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) You escaped lightly. My mate took his car to Longleat ..Lost 2 x wipers, 1 x aerial, his Merc emblem, and rear numberplate, and car had scratches all over it... :scare: Edited June 30, 2014 by WhackyWill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraziekatz1 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 One for 'Tip of the Day', surely..... I took the kids to Longleat last year (not in the Z) and took one look at the other cars getting pulled to pieces and floored it through the monkey enclosure. I let the kids watch the fun from the safety of the other side of the fence. Good luck getting replacements! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJRamze Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I was sat there thinking that some ape mechanic had ripped you off. Amazing, I went once in an old MK3 Golf. Amazingly they didn't rip anything off the VDUB but we gained 3 magnetic GB stickers from other cars. I watched the monkeys chew peoples sealant and rubber seals around windows and sunroofs to bits. Never would I take my car in there, your a brave man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JameZed Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Was going so well until the fella chilling out on my bonnet disappeared and I literally felt the car rock. Upon investigation there were wires everywhere 😔 Thanks 350 Russ, but I just need the end plug and play pieces. Zmanalex is on the case 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I can get you a set at trade money but it will be the whole kit, less than £25.00 iirc. Alternatively find the control box and identify the manufacturer, then google for spares. Beware, some detectors don't "pair" with other control units.

GMballistic Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I went to Longleat some years ago with my Mrs in a 1998 Mondeo ST24 ~ not the best car in the world but no way was I going to risk it against the Monkeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
