V8V and DB9 rear parking sensor (outer)

[JonnyCJ]

I need to replace one of my outer sensors and was wondering if anyone has found out the generic Ford/Jag part nr for these yet ? The inners are readily available (part nr 1X43-15K859-AC), however I'm struggling to find the inners, which are right angled.

Jonny,
I *think* its 1x43-15k859 ba. Like this one:-

Smashing - references across to 4M5T 15K86 / 3M5T-15K859-CAW / 2W93-15K859-DAW / 1X43-15K859-BA / 3M5T-15K859-CA, so will give me something to work to.

Many thanks !

Edit - gone with a pair of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403207854335?epid=22187...

Look pretty much the same as these https://www.scuderiacarparts.com/part/182263/aston...

Will report back once I've hoiked the bumper off (again !), but hopefully another win for the alternative parts thread.

Just to add a little more info; in most of the cases I'm aware of the presence of a "W" at the end of a Ford/JLR/Aston part number (xxx-CAW or xxx-DAW) implies a colour-coding option for an interior or exterior part, the 'W' then being replaced with a (usually) 2-digit colour code to give the part number of the coloured part. In the case of a PDC this would be the colour of the bumper paint into which it was to be mounted.

Highly unlikely to apply to spares bought over the counter as they would probably be supplied in primer, to be painted to match on installation.

Bumper off (it's now a pretty quick job with everything correctly greased from the 1st time) and old sensors removed.

Old and new shown below for comparison.

I'm yet to test, as have disconnected some of the loom to get the bumper partially removed and am awaiting some double sided mounting tape to re-attach the sensor mounting brackets.

They have the correct pins, fit/connect perfectly and can't see any reason all shouldn't be good.

Good news Jonny.
I have this job pending on my DB9, so interested to see how you get on!!
