807: problem with parking sensor / reversing light

[spider]

Took delivery of my 807 on Saturday. Picked up second hand (18 months old) from a main Peugeot dealer and got it home only to find the rear parking sensor and reversing light don't work. I only discovered this when reversing onto my drive - no beeping from the sensor when put in reverse and reversing up to my other car and on checking, my Wife confirmed that the reversing light doesn't come on either.

Very annoying and in typical dealer syle - they insit it was all working fine when they gave it the final PDI on Friday before I collected it. Anyhow, there is still plenty of warranty left so it's going back on Thursday to get sorted. However was wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar problem and if so can tell me what the cause was.

On a happier note, am delighted with the 807. It's a 2.2 6 speed Executive and is very capable and responsive even when fully loaded. We had 4 adults, 3 children & 2 dogs travelling in it over the weekend - all very comfortably and with good power response and ride / handling. Looking forward to the drive to the South of France later this year !

Didn't experience it, however, based on your report it seems obvious that the switch in the gear box that indicates the reverse gear to the BSI does not work properly. The system does not get an indication of being in reverse gear, thus it doesn't engage either reverse light nor PDC. I doubt that reverse light an PDC are supplied via the same fuse, but if so, that has to be checked first.
