Over 250,000 people have bought a Dacia since 2013, and the brand has more than eight million customers worldwide. Impressively, Dacia's best-selling model, the 1300, which was introduced during the Cold War, had a production run of 35 years.

There are two types of parking sensors. Ultrasonic sensors emit high-frequency sound waves that bounce off objects, allowing the receiver to calculate how far away they are. Electromagnetic sensors work by creating an electromagnetic field around the vehicle and monitoring it for any disturbances. Both systems allow you to park more quickly and safely and give you greater confidence during difficult manoeuvres.

The most common reasons for parking sensor failure are bad wiring, dirt and debris, and a malfunctioning sensor. A specialist technician can advise you whether you need a parking sensor repair or entirely new parking sensors fitted.

Although some older cars do not come with parking sensors, most makes and models allow them to be installed. You could even install a parking sensor and camera to give you extra awareness of your surroundings.
