[Quantum Owners] Re: Reversing sensor
I fitted reverse sensors to my Saloon,( for the same reason) but used a conventional type which meant drilling the holes for the sensors, took about 90 mins. to fit & works very well. The one I used was called Easyfit, it used wireless technology, so you don't have to run a wire from the boot to the display. Like the look of the Parking Dynamics PD1 though, will consider that for the 2+2.

[Quantum Owners] Reversing sensor
Feedback which may be of interest to fellow owners.. Not wanting to trust entirely to my own judgement when reversing the new Q saloon, I today fitted a Parking Dynamics PD1 reversing sensor kit - requires no drilling as it uses "electromagnetic wave technology". Only took less than 1hr to fit, and Initial results suggest it is very good - It 'detected' the cardboard test box invisible from the driving seat. The shape of the saloon doesn't help matters (with the spoiler overhang), but that's not a failing of the PD1 product - a bit of fine tuning (putting some of the pick-up strip inside the spoiler and running a wire through the boot lid) will take some extra time but could give improvement. I'm impressed that it senses right through the double-skin and foam of the car rear (I'm hoping some electronics expert in the club can explain how it works?)

[Quantum Owners] Re: Protecting Break Lines
If you take off the reservoir cap, put some plastic under it and screw it back on (thus making it airtight) and ensure the hoses face upwards so no fluid runs out just putting a bit of tape over the end (or the baloons!) will stop any dirt getting in. - Original Message - From: Robert Craig To: quantumowners@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, October 25, 2009 2:24 PM Subject: [Quantum Owners] Re: Protecting Break Lines Ah, not sure - never tried clamping braided ones.

Stuart From: bobbycrai...@tiscali.co.uk To: quantumowners@googlegroups.com Subject: [Quantum Owners] Re: Protecting Break Lines Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2009 12:56:41 + Hi Stuart, I'd suggest clamping the pipes to prevent fluid running all over your drive. You can buy pipe clamps or use mole grips (be careful not to overtighten them or you will damage the pipes). Cover the ends with rubber gloves to kep them clen.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Protecting Break Lines
All I'd do is cut the fingers from some rubber or workshop gloves,take off the callipers etc,give the brake ends a spray of WD40 or similar fit the finger over ends and cable tie them in place Brian From: Stuart Carvell To: Quantum Owners Sent: Sunday, 25 October, 2009 12:01:26 Subject: [Quantum Owners] Re: Protecting Break Lines Yes, i have spelt brake wrong!
