Rear bumper cover removal / replacement
Can anyone tell me how to remove / replace the rear bumper cover - ie the external plastic bumper.
I seem to have dislodged one corner of mine from it's clips (grounded it).
Thanks,Long succession of Disco's since 2001...

All done, bumper cover re-united with all its many clips.
There's lots of plastic bracket/mounting clips under there, which will sacrificially break. I've got 3 partly broken ones, which are going to be a right pain to replace, but rather them than the whole bumper.
Lesson learnt - don't forget the departure angle! (excellent though it is)Long succession of Disco's since 2001...

So who did that then Ian?
Wouldn't be Mr Tong by any chance, eh?
I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.
When this happened a couple of weekends ago, the left side of the bumper was coming unclipped. I just whacked it back into place...

I think it probably was Mr Tong. He also damaged my wheel arch
I have tried hitting it but it wont pop back in. Maybe I should try the old mallet For details on the next Kielder Safari click visit the Kielder Safari website

Same for me.
Problems with the rear parking sensors.
Depending on the weather they beep continuesly or intermittend.
Switch for parking sensors start blinking
When is has been dry for a couple of weeks, system works fine.
I think it has to do with maybe some isolation.
For that i have to remove the outherpart of the rear bumper.
Who can help me....
