So I have a rear parking sensor failure, the rear drivers was replaced last year as it failed (heat from being so close to the exhaust apparently) with a OEM one which was fitted for about £90!!!!

I cleaned out the area last night as the bumper was full of crap thrown in there from the tyres.

Recommendations for sensors or where to buy, I can fit myself and I may just replace them all if the price is right.

Apparently the part No is A2215420417, is this correct??

Cheers John, there are so many selling them with loads from China on E-Bay, just want a decent quality one, they are easy to fit

I always feel a little safer with Amazon (certainly easier to return if any issues), ebay is just flooded

This is my problem with E-Bay, so many and difficult to make sure they are good, most are from China under the guise of UK seller

I've just returned an item bought for Christmas ..... no hassle at all, in fact the replacement item it was replacing must've passed each other in the post.

So it is the passenger rear sensor (B8/10)

I changed it and still got the double red light
