My XC70 near side sensor popped out reversing into a wall! I know, but not to go into too much detail there was no damage apart from a scratch. I was on a hill and the auto transmission did not hold the car!!! Anyway that is another issue but can anyone tell me how to get it back in? It is still connected and lying in the rear well. Does it just "pop" in with sufficient pressure? I have tried but i need to get more purchase and I think the only way to do that would be to remove the skid pan and release the exhaust pipe.

AFAIK, they install from the outside pressed into the bumper, not from the rear. You'll need to unplug it then refit. Pop over hear when you get 5 mins....http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?16-Introduce-Yourself
