If I have a fixed tow bar fitted on a 66 plate QQ, will the parking sensors bleep when I am not towing? It will probably be a genuine Nissan part.

You will need to ensure that Nissan alter the angle of the ultrasonic detectors when they do the installation so they don't "see" the towbar. This is done with a laptop and was the case with my 65 plate. Also, my detectors do not disable when towing and I have to press the dash button to turn them off. Not sure if this is the same with later cars as I think the latest ones don't have the button which is a bit crazy.
