In this weather there is small chance that grit and crud from the road can coat them and cause duff readings, a good clean might afford you a little more time with it...

Sensors are only about £50 i think, and its not too hard to fit them...

The parking sensor seems to be coming and going, so I might try a clean. Is it just the small round face on the bumper or is there something else to clean?

And I don't suppose there's a thread on replacing them is there?
