For that price I just don't expect any kind of warranty. You never know what you get when ordering from ebay/aliexpress. At first I ordered sensors without XT (because some say they do also work), but they didn't work at all on my car.

So I bought all in all six sensors for 40€, and now I have two incompatible to sell on, and three compatible XT's as spare if another one of the original ones fails. 8-) Both orders shipped very fast, 1-2 weeks from HK. Fortunately I could easily live without parking aid for few weeks. :roll:

Well thankfuilly, with the X7, I haven't had a single one go as yet [-o< - so maybe the issues were largely a fault on the Mark II facelift. Well it's worth noting that you have used them and that you are pleased with them just in case. :-D

That's ebay.com. The item number won't come up on ebay.co.uk so that could explain why we in the UK can't find them.

I bought 4 from a UK seller on Ebay, wrong type the connection layout was wrong, anyway, the address I was told to send them back to was in California, Ebay stepped in and I received a full refund (£26 ish). I then sent message to seller saying send me a prepaid envelope or in 3 months they will be scrapped, they replied saying I was to keep them. So I have 4 new parking sensors to sell on.

Here's a fun one -on my 2003 Exclusive Estate, my sensors (rear only) gave up the ghost and i get the fault warning beep whenever I select reverse.
The other day I had the offside front headlamp bulb replaced, and after the mech had wiggled it into place, lo and behold, the parking sensors were working again!
It didn't last -unfortunately- but there's obviously a dodgy terminal for them near the o/s front light assembly.
Anyone know more?
