If the camera is a eye ball type (aftermarket), just grab it and twist it round 180° |

Andy - I am assuming it's factory fit, right up in the roof spoiler, but I'll have a proper look at it to make sure, good point!
It's hard to take a picture ... as I'd have to take one from both directions at once but - if there's a lamp post behind me on the passenger side of the car, then in the picture on the screen it's on the right hand side of the screen.. I take it back, let me take a picture |

I'm fairly certain mine gives a view similar to the rear view mirror. Not like I've turned around and am looking out the back window. Really important for the driving lines proijection. RRS MY17 SDV6 AB

I seem to remember from when I was researching for my MY10 that if the view from the rear camera is the wrong way round it is and the only fix is a new one. |

Yeah, known issue on some early facelift RRS1's, new camera needed if I remember correctly.

That's one of the giant (council) trees that line our road - "What a lovely tree lined avenue," my other half said when we looked at the place...

Nice AC Cobra (assume a replica - DAX? Pilgrim?)

Definitely a replica as my budget is sub seven figures It's a DAX, pre current ownership when they were still based in Essex rather than Belgium (although IIRC they do still have a facility in Essex), and definitely a work in progress (don't ask for how long!)

Very nice, wish I had the space and talent to build one, I am not jealous in the slightest MY17 RRS 4.4d V8 Autobiography - Aintree Green (also referred to on Topix as British Racing Green) |

You need a new camera, the image correction part has failed. Are you any good with spanner’s? I have the internals from a 2012 if you want them? Or send your unit to me and I’ll fit the internals. It needs a minute Torx screw driver to get the four screws out. 2012 5.0 SC AB

I'm reasonably handy with the spanners and I'll happily take the guts of the 2012 if it works out cheaper than I can find the complete replacements for (which seems to be £200+!) I'll drop you a PM.. thanks! |
