Reversing sensor help

Hello,
When I put the car in reverse I get a continuous beep and the light in the dash flashes.
Going forward is fine, it's just reverse.

So...

I was passing the dealers so went in. They checked it out and said the rear left corner sensor was to blame.
They said it could be the sensor or the wire. £150 to fix.

I'm going to have a go myself but need help.
On eBay i've seen the sensors but not the wire.
Can anyone help me out just in case it's not the sensor as I will replace both while I'm at it.

I am at the back of my range Rover now and have removed the bumper.
I removed each sensor at a time and tried the reverse but there was still a constant beep

I cannot see any broken wires or anything missing. I think I will just have to to replace the sensors and the wires unless anyone thinks it could be the control unit in the boot lining but the dealers said it was the rear sensor so what do you guys think? Should I trust them?

Each sensor should make a very slight clicking noise when reverse is selected the one that is not clicking is faulty , the broken wires on mine were quite difficult to spot I had to bend the wires to see the break silverRRS 2.7 TDV6 22"WHEELS FULL COLOUR CODE,STEPS,REMAP..gone

I've just had a listen and one isn't clicking.

I hope it's the sensor as I've ordered a new one from eBay.
If not, the dealers say it's £62 for a new wiring loom.

No, not properly as I didn't know about the buzzing sensors.
I had a quick check over the whole loom but nothing obvious.

I'll stick the new sensor on when it arrives (hopefully tomorrow) & go from there.
Thank you

Thanks Gaz,
I replaced the one that wasn't clicking with a £10 eBay jobbie and it works now! Thumbs Up
Thanks for your advice. Much better than paying dealers £150!
(Or more for a new bumper).
