How do the reverse sensors react to it ?The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the best of everything they have.

My understanding, based on exhaustive research (and I really mean surfing forums and reading specs) is mostly:
- you disable rear sensors completely
- you get/make a loom which bypasses the one under the carrier
Kaymar (!), I think, had their proprietary rear bumper (steel I think) which together with their single or dual spare wheel carriers worked even with the sensors.
Tactical rovers (yanks) had front and back bumpers made out of steel that were not sensor compatible.

Had to lookup what black tac is but it dampens the signal from the sensors?

They hate it...
But a simple solution is to put a rubber inner-tube repair patch on it. Something to do with the patch absorbing the signal as opposed to just blocking it.
It works for me And did the same for a friend when we fitted his one MY2008 D3 - It got me hooked...gone
MY2012 D4 - It kept me hooked...gone
MY2007 D3 - Mid-Life crisis toy continues driving me to bankruptcy...
MY2018 "D5" Si6 - But is it a "true" LR...discuss...but now gone
Back in a D4 with a lot of extras....

I had been thinking about the sensor issue - Seems you've already got that covered (no pun intended)

What's the best one out there then folks? I'd like to have a good nosey at the design and reviews.

Both have, according to google translate, galvanized a zinc primer and then powder coat.

Found another, let’s call it in the premium priced carrier category, from Rijidij Off-road in Australia. Unlike most carriers, this one mounts the wheel higher up which makes it not to interfere with the rear sensors at all (both according to users and the manufacturer). Install instructions are in color and excellent.

I have spoken to a local fabrication company who are happy to tackle the job. I could do with a broken / 2nd hand one just to get a feel for one in front of me - Anyone have a tatty or knackered one kicking about?2005 DISCO 3 TDV6 SE
