The nearest I've heard to beeps in a Vauxhall Combo is the pips on the hour when the news is on the radio. :Very Happy

They decided to retrofit parking sensors to our vans a couple of years ago. They only did the newer vans though. The new vans I have seen (not at my office - we haven't had any new vans for over 3 years) have come with them factory fitted. They are crap though, for some reason they beep when you reverse on gravel when there is nothing there and sometimes I have reversed right up to walls and they do not beep at all :crazy:

they beep when you are reversing down hill and you hit the bottom of the hill but at least it shows you have to be aware
