I didn't say that FWD are better than RWD, because you already knew that, having been advised previously :mrgreen: :P :lol:

:P


I think you'll find that it's the unique ability of a FWD to follow where you point the front wheels, which us fans find so endearing :roll: :P

Just found the transit custom radar and bracket, and the diagram is kind of there distance warning radar can network wiring so in theory 2 for can and 2 for power so no worrying whether it'll fit.

Although it is only listed for all panther models. *
So euro 6 only? But the euro 6 would still be the same for cruise shouldn't it? :?
Can't source these parts in the uk though, need to price them up.

I wonder if I can give bjt a wee shopping list for when he goes to the German nick to do a spot of porridge? Make it worth your while. :P

I'm pretty sure that when I was looking at these, that there's only one model of radar for all of the different cars, so you should be able to source the Focus, Mondeo or Kuga one over here. I think that I also read that you need the mounting bezel as well as the radar unit.
