Luckily Bobby has posted the front and rear bumper cover removal procedures in his gallery:

Thank you Bobby!

I removed my front bumper cover a couple of days ago for access to the parking sensor wiring. Easy to do with a second pair of hands and the car with suspension set in the highest position. Rear bumper cover looks like it might take a little more time but still a straight forward process.

many thanks did you have to have the clock reset or does the replacement of the faulty sensors correct the message on the dash cheers paul paul

From reading through other posts I believe the replacement of the faulty sensor is enough and then the control unit reverts to normal operation. I wont be able to test this for sure until my replacement sensors arrive and I change it over.

My sensor problem is an intermittent error in the dash saying the front pdc is inactive. I opted to check the wiring and then order replacement sensors to swap over, probably this weekend. The intermittent error is worst in damp conditions and a real PITA because it blocks the rear sensors from working.

Good luck with yours, a bit of searching here and on the disco3 site reaps massive rewards in the form of really good info. I have learnt a lot in the last couple of months since being a RRS owner and browsing these great resources.

got the exact same problem front parking ade inactive flashing light with long tone this has stopped front and rear sensors so not sure which ones to check front or rear or just replace all as 4 new sensors on e bay only £60 paul

I had the same fault, but traced it to the offside front sensor.

I managed to swap it without removing the bumper, its a tight squeeze but do-able! I keep telling myself 'It's a toy'
But I've broken quite a lot of toys in my time.....

I put the car in reverse like someone else said on this site and listen for the clicking on each sensor and they said the 1 that's not clicking is the faulty 1 but all mine are clicking front and rear so do you think it could be a fault on the wires somewhere  paul

Sorry, I don't know the answer to the sensor clicking question. However, I have ordered the 4 oem sensor set from ebay for £60 and plan to change all four fronts.

Bit of a sledge hammer to crack a nut approach but all my sensors are discoloured so aiming to save time and money in the long run by changing all 4 on the front.
