I'd guess that leaking roofs and eeking out the last mpg are not too much of an issue in California, so you're more than welcome by me

Flickering internal light
Over the last couple of days my car's internal light (the one at the top of the windscreen) has started to flicker on and off whilst I have been driving.

As I didn't install my car's reversing sensors, I can't advise you.
Are there not any instructions with the kit? The film in my previous post I found just by Googling "reversing sensors" and I'm sure if you do the same you'll find the answer.

Tony I've measured the location of each sensor from the top of the bumper rather than position off the ground (as your car or my car may have differing ride heights). From the top of the bumper to the centre of each sensor is 14cm. (see below) http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j207/pdykins/c30c331a-...
