Rear Parking Sensors

Hi Alexander, I do not have rear parking sensors fitted to my 2002 S-type but a fella over the road from me does. He had a problem with them on his 2006 model they were beeping all the time, so he took his car to the local Stratstone Jag dealership to see what they would quote to fix it, the answer was an unbelievable £600+. This entailed removing the rear bumper, replacing the faulty sensor, spraying the new sensor to his car's colour as they are delivered black and reassembling everything. I suggested he tried the independent garage I use as I knew he would get a fair price quoted, but even they came back with just over £400 so he decided to have them disconnected and do without them. In view of this I think that may be your best option, I have never had them fitted to a car I have owned so consider them an unnecessary luxury not a vital piece of kit. However if you think otherwise be prepared to pay quite a bit out to get it fixed unless you want to have a go at it yourself, but if these are the prices garages are charging it is not that simple a procedure. I hope this helps in some way, but I realise this does not solve your problem. Good luck with it, best wishes Geoff.

Hi Geoff sorry so long to get back.  Been away.  Got my sensors fixed.  My car had been in the garage and then washed with a power hose something you shouldn't do so got them to fix it.  Just pushed them back in I think.

Thanks Again  Alex

Hi Alex, I'm pleased you have got your car fixed and at not too much cost it appears. I never use a pressure washer on my car, I saw what damage they could do when I was at work and drivers would wash down their forklift trucks with them. I don't use car washes either, automatic or hand as both at some stage use high pressure water jets, I prefer to clean my car myself and strange as it may seem find it somewhat therapeutic particularly when I survey the end result. Again I'm glad all is well now with your car, enjoy it. Best wishes mate Geoff.
