I paid £400 to get parking sensors fixed by BMW main stealers in November & they have stopped working again, should I be going back to BMW or my warranty company with this??
Bloody cars!!

Override is a button near the gear lever iirc.
Back to BMW. All work should be guaranteed.

only ''boss'' for people who can't reverse.
bmw should warrant their work. if they don't, phone up the lovely bmw customer service.

Another for sensors, front ones are good too when you cant see the end of the car and want to park close to things.

i have to change these sensors regular as clock work on bmw's, the sensors are poor quality !! most common thing to fuck them up is high pressure jet washes being sprayed directy onto them when washing the car

To be fair, I am really tempted at getting some for both the car and my van. The van, you can't see out the back windows so is a nightmare. And I can't judge the distance on my car at all. I think I'm almost touching the bumper on what I'm reversing up to and I'm still a metre away. Just makes life easier.

Graham I'm like that in the Punto. I was so used to the Corsa and could park it anywhere. Now I have to find nice big spaces in the supermarket

Got them on the family bus, quite handy to have although I'm usually good at judging distance.
The 350z is an arse though as you can't see feck all when reversing

There usefull when you have a huge saloon boot sticking out the back. Everyone slating parking sensor's, but in a few years when they become standard, you wont know how you lived without them.
