Right guys, first day on the site and here is my first problem. ::)

Don't know if this is particular to just my car or not, so here goes

everytime i put my car into reverse, there is this loud beeping noise, like a truck has when reversing.
I have an N reg Ultima if that makes an difference

Hi,I have a tow bar fitted and when I put it in reverse I get that sound.But only when its connected up to a trailer.
Have you got a tow bar fitted?

Hi and welcome :D
I own an N reg ultima and mine does not beep when reversing.
It beeps if I leave it in gear with the engine off and the door open but thats different.
could be the previous owner fitted it as a mod. perhaps he was a lorry driver and he missed the noise ;D ;D
someone else may have an idea tho.

see ya

I had same problem with another car..someone had fitted beeper from Motorworld.Check wiring to reversing lights for those horrible blue clip things.Unit itself is very small.

Hi
I'm pleased to see that I'm not the only one who thinks those " Orrible blue clip things" are a waste of space.
