Parking Sensor - possibly one is damaged or could be dirty/full of water if the car has been pressure washed too vigorously.

I have put my ear to each of the sensors... its clicking away so I guess it might be the water issue.

Sneak the wife's hairdryer out to the garage, that speeds up the drying process. Amazingly useful auto-tools are hairdryers, far more useful than their original use suggests 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes |

i changed both front calipers last month, really easy, clamp flexible hose, remove caliper remove hose, then fit new one in reverse order, i bled the calipers using an eazibleed kit, dont know if thats a brand that you have in the uk or not but it was quite cheap and did the job great, about half an hour each side with new discs and pads 2002 td6 vogue, 06 supercharged facelift

I would try and find a used one from a warranted breakers yard, or just buy the part new from LR - can't be that hard to replace the broken one.

Never try to replace the mirror glass yourself on any of the more recent LR cars - the glass always cracks/breaks - leave it to a dealership as they have a special tool for the job (and if they break the mirror it costs the dealer not you!)
