Last couple of days everytime i put her into R the rear park just bleeps all the time even though there is nothing behind me. Checked all 4 sensors in case something had covered one and it was false reading all look clear anyone any ideas as to what it may be or have the gone boobs up

now then, can i remember? i had this when fitting my tow bar. Had the bumper off at one point and the black plastic moulding around the boot catch,which i did not re fit until the next day as needed the car for work. I had constant tone as you have.

 At one point i wondered if the moulding was the cause as the car thinks the boot is open when not fitted as the boot light button on the boot lid closes on it and does not depress fully without it. The boot light was still on with boot closed. Could this be a safety feature that the sensors give constant tone to warn the boot is open, someone could be standing by the boot loading? Dont know.

 Trouble is i then removed the bumper and checked the connections to the sensors, one may have been loose/ not fully home. I then tested the tone and all was well. But dont know which of the two possible causes was to blame. Probably the connectors to be honest. Never tested the boot open thing while in reverse.

If you've had work done in the area then whoever needs to re trace their steps. If not check wiring to sensors, bumper comes off easy enough but needs supporting when you un clip the wiring connectors to sensors. The wires are infuriatingly short but you can get an arm in and unclip them one handed. Check wires and sensors with a meter if you have one. Although not sure what readings you should be looking for.

Hope helps..... somehow.
