Hi all,

Totally embarrassing noob question.

How do I know if I've got a Front Parking Aid? The rear comes on fine in reverse but nothing from the front? Also when I press the button on the dash nothing happens. Makes me wonder if it's even fitted?

<ducks>

Many thanks

Mickey

Easiest answer to that is there sensors in front bumper. The fronts don't come in unless in reverse or doing less than 5 mph forward after selecting reverse. Totally pants system lol. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Thanks for that. I'm not near the car at the moment but I suppose then I'm looking for four circular disks along the front bumper?

Yep, four sensors on front at just above numberplate height. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

You are not the only one who needs to familiarise yourself with parking sensors. Had just parked up in Waitrose recently when a Mitsubishi swept into the adjacent bay forwards and crashed fairly hard into the barrier. The driver looked pretty sheepish. Can only assume he thought the parking sensors would tell him when to stop  2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

I made that mistake with L200. Reversed into space and was waiting for beep, instead I got a bang as the tow bar hit the wall. Proper parking by Braille  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
