rbdazza Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 This one has stumped me. At some point over the last couple of days something has happened and my head lights are aiming low! Very bright right in front of the car but only up to maybe 10ft away. Where do I start looking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 OK i take it you haven't touched the headlight adjustment next to the switch for if you are towing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbdazza Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Not intentionally. Where's that!!?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbdazza Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 i've had another look this morning and can;t see any switch. any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbdazza Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Posted this up on the other forum and we think it might be the level sensor. Gonna have a look tomorrow once I can get the wheel off. Working from home tomorrow will help lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbdazza Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Kind of ties in with having my tyre replaced saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 ooh...I wouldn't want to be standing next to that when it pops! That's definitely your reason for the vibration then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbdazza Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 indeed lol, not good eh. ah well that corner now has a nice fresh continental boot! i have got to the bottom of my headlight issue. the levelling sensor has broke, a small bit of plastic on the bracket! phoned TPS, £130 for a replacement part would you believe!! Currently looking for a decent used part on eBay, they seem to be around £30 on there but i need to find one in decent nick and make sure i grease it up good to stop the tension breaking it again! in the meantime, being the frugal sole i am, i've bodged it!

rbdazza Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 I know you all want to see my 5 minute bodge haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Don't like the word 'bodge' .... prefer to call it 'adaptive engineering' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbdazza Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 yes that sounds much better! i even used the 'Earth' insulation tape so it is easier to see if it breaks away, not because i couldn't be bothered hunting out the black roll... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbdazza Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Success!! before and after... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 That's quite a considerable difference...just hope the tape holds out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
