I now have a front parking sensor fault. Constant tone for 4 seconds on ignition on, with flashing green light at the button. Does this mean anything specific?

Get up close with each one and see if they click.

The one that doesn't is usually considered faulty.

BUT you could have a wet sensor - may require drying out or wait til you get a dry spell to see if the problem goes away.
