Check they are not covered in snow, ice or just plain old dirt. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

as Endjin says, it's likely to be one of the three - just remember, DON'T pressure wash them - they get destroyed.

Gud ol soap and water

Mine started yesterday doing the same after standing out overnight in the snow - normally in the garage and never a problem.

i have washed them several times and the damn things keep doing it.

Maybe there's some ice inside the sensor? Try warming them gently with a hairdryer to see if that solves the problem. Maybe you wash them, but if the ice is deeper inside (in that recess) then it will still keep sounding.

Worth a try.

If it works, then maybe once it's dry it shouldn't ice up again for a while.

If they are still screaming then you do know that you can silence them don't you? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Turning them off

No need to switch them off, although I would be very tempted to if they were screaming all the time, but for off road use you can silence them and get a red light on the switch when you get too close to objects 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I've just reversed off the drive and they started screaming at me I hope your right about the weather, ice etc.. I only picked it up today

Maybe it's Hinckley related  Cheers Paul

I get this on my D3 in very cold weather (well below zero C). It stops when the outside temperature rises. Every silver lining has a cloud

Mine started for the first time yesterday, but it was minus 28 and I had just washed it 10 mins before (indoors and leathered it) - so therefore I conclude it is linked to icing up.

I will try the hairdryer trick tomorrow.

One thing I think is that with the temp here being so low then it never gets wet and therefore never freezes (like the locks don't) - Maybe in the UK it gets wet in the day and freezes at night as the temp is more plus / minus / plus / minus.

Just a thought. Those who don't suffer it must be lucky that the water has evaporated before the deep freeze sets in. Will be interested to hear the dealer findings.

I had mine parked in a heated garage at work today and it didn't solve my problem..

I think I may have a faulty one rather than a frozen one, I'll find out tomorrow when it's plugged in  Cheers Paul
