Reverse sensor
My reverse sensors seem to work when they feel like but I`ve noticed if I retry reverse a couple of times I eventualy get the beep and they work fine, does this sound like a faulty reverse sensor.

YES in short ..but could be a number of things ....by all accounts if they tick when rev gear is selected then they are working (put ear next to sensor)......not 100% though reading another thread
sometimes the joint that joins them all together gets loose and snap see under tape in pic...also the wire droops and gets a bit melted on exhaust causing intermittent beeps/long beep...which was my sensor problem..... a little wd40 on the switch may help if sticking... |

Check your reversing lights when you select reverse (Ignition on but engine off !!!), sounds like the switch may be playing up.
