Well...I bought the Freelander TD4 04 reg, about 2 weeks ago, just had a go at the reversing parking sensors and something isnt right. I press the button inside put it into reverse and get a long beep and then nothing if i get near anything, the button flashes as well, so i looked in my manual and it said if it flashes there is a fault. Anyhow i got out and wiped the sensors as i thought maybe there was some wax on them after the over zealous cleaning they did to sell it to me. It seems to work on occasions which is weird, as this morning it didnt flash and did its job that it is supposed to do, so whats going on when its faulty sometimes and not others?? any ideas?

I agree with this comment, check all sensors for a clicking noise when reverse is selected obviously with ignition on. If one isn't working dont assume its a faulty sensor straight away, check the wiring plug foe corosion as they are exposed to the elements and also check the wiring isn't damaged also.....

How the bloody hell did we manage to park our vehicles before parking sensors????????????? I'll tell you, we used our bloody eyes and driving skills, that's how.

I do it with rear cross member or spare wheel. Get close to car behind an then slowly slowly reverse til ya feel resistance/hear a crunch. then pull forwards a couple of inches. Works every time for me.

the prob with that , Rob, is that yu used to be able to see out of the back of cars. a lot of the new models, have reversing cameras as there is no rear visibility. When I queried that, I was told that it was due to "safety improvements" :doh:

Shouting isn't going to help you
I'm hijaaking this thread, as it is parking sensor related. I previously fixed a wiring fault inside the rear bumper of my MY2004 FL1, and the parking sensors then started worked fine for a little while, but now it is intermittently not working, with a new fault. The previous fault had the short bleep to indicate a sensor fault, now when it goes wrong it just thinks it has detected something close by and I get a continuous tone. All the sensors are clicking, and I have tried wiping each sensor with a damp rag when in the fault mode, but this makes no odds. As I understand it there are no diagnostics, so what to do at this point ?
