    How to fit Reversing (Parking) Sensors

    I thought I'd write up the installation of parking sensors on the new Leon for those that are contemplating it. All in all it took around 4 hours, although once I know what I'm doing it should take about half that ! Fitting Reversing Sensors to the New Leon I fitted the Meta SR2...
