Sensor arrived the other day, fitted tonight.

After fitting I noted two things:

First, reverse lights were on all the time.
Second, there is now a "Beeeeeep" from the back of the car (WTF??)

Since the sensor didn't come with a washer I had reused the old washer, but I hadn't any other suitable sized ones, so I cut up an old seatbelt bracket with a perfect sized hole and used that in place of a washer. Now the reverse lights work perfect.

However I still have a "Beeeeeep" every time I put the car in reverse from the back of the car. It lasts about 20 seconds then stops and doesn't happen again till the next time I select reverse. But if I take it out of Reverse and put it straight back in, there is no noise.

Oh and this car does not have any reverse sensors in the bumper before anyone thinks that is the reason... so I have no idea what it is!
