Hello folks. My rear parking sensors in my T5 have decided to not work. They were fitted by the guy who did my conversion - so they're not strictly VW parking sensors. I couldn't even tell you what make they are, because it doesn't even say on the badly translated installation guide.
Basically, it looks like a wee half circle that sits on my dashboard - the digital display comes on when I turn on the engine with a long "beep!". However, yesterday, it just didn't switch on at all. OH had a look at all the fuses - none blown. The only thing it says on the installation guide that is remotely helpful, is that the heat can affect it - it was really warm here yesterday. But it's still not working today!
Any suggestions? OH is phoning the guy who installed them and I'm sure he'll fix it under warranty - I just can't be without a vehicle for the next 10 days or so. Wondered if there was anything we could do ourselves?

Amused by this, Weegmack. I am my OH's reversing sensors. Sounds very posh having such things on a MH... I'm just getting used to having them on a car for the first time - the dog's growling usually told us when we were too close to the vehicle behind.

Ah you made me laugh there! I'm actually managing fine without them (it's a short bast T5, so no longer than a big saloon car!). I feel very smug - though I'd better be careful not to get too smug or I might reverse into something !!
