parking sensors

[smitch6]

13 plate, there is sensors on the rear bumper and they look kind of genuine although only guessing.
there isn't a switch inside or anything and when you walk behind it doesn't make a noise?

anyone got any ideas pls

Presumably you need the car in reverse gear to activate the sensors whilst a helper does the walking at the rear

On mine the engine has to be running & in reverse gear before the sensors are activated, having the ignition on and in reverse gear doesn't activate them.

yep had it running but had the hand brake on with no joy

A working sensor will give off a faint clicking sound when activated, so get a helper you can trust to put the car in reverse gear (with the engine running) and put your ear close to each sensor in turn, each one should be making the clicking sound.
