Evening all,when I put it in reverse it continually beeps! I've checked all sensors front and back and there all making the clicking noise! Any ideas?

Dare I say it but it sounds like new PFC sensors are needed. It could only be one or two, if you know anyone that can hook you car up to a diagnostic then they will be able to tell you exactly which ones need changing.

Well you say that but mine has the same problem and no errors are present. Scanner 1.4.0 sadly doesn't show any live PDC data so it's proving hard to work out which sensor is giving a false positive.

I have same issue with rears. All clicking, intermittent solid beep with nothing close by, scanner not showing any faults. Have thought next step is to disconnect each sensor in turn to see if prob stops (PITA though!)

If you disconnect a sensor it will definitely fault. Buy a single sensor and try replacing in turn until you get to the faulty one.
They are all the straight type ones, except for the front outers, the rears can be change in 5 mins each. The fronts require the bumper off, you have a scanner you can disable front or rear to narrow it down to either end of the car. Hope it's a rear one, so an easy fix.
