Jaguar was founded in 1922 when it was initially called the Swallow Sidecar Company; since then, it has become a quintessentially British car brand. There are lots of quirky facts about Jaguar that most people don't know. For example, before its vehicles are painted, they are brushed with ionised emu feathers to prevent the metal from attracting dust. Jaguar has also won the world's oldest endurance race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, seven times, making it the fourth most successful manufacturer.

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.
