Seat Toledo electrical parking problem - rob.s

I have had front and rear parking sensors fitted by an auto-electrician both front and rear can sense an obstuction or body when switched on without the engine running. The front sensors work when the engine is running but the rear sensors start squarking after about 10 seconds wether any thing is there or not. Sounds like interference from the engine I suppose.
Any advice would be appreciated.
