The Nissan version of that van (Primastar) has them fitted as standard.  Make sure you keep them clean as they are less reliable if they get dirty.

guys the box comes with a drill so drill 4 holes put in the sensors the wires i put into the right hand bottom corner  under the plastic trim connected to the control box then put in the bleeper for the front behind the trim under the seat
under the floor mat behind the dash and out by the radio all nice and neat bingo done

the control box has 2 wire + & - the black- go's to earth so i drilled a little hole and put a self tapping screw in the + red wire has to go to reverse light and on the trafic its a purple wire so 2 screws and remove the reverse light and solder it in hope this helps Edd

sorry dont know how to put a link up  but its ebay item number : 190308203594

I went for just two sensors as i have a towbar, also left out the light sensor these ones just beep but kit comes with everything you need, i thought theres enough wires about the van without running more up to the cab the beeper can also be heared outside the van which makes it harder to reverse into people.  perhaps you could put a link up for me to help others out for all the price of these they will pay for themselves if they stop you from hitting just one thing
