Daz says there is a check warning come on the MID that says
Low Beam
FLD/VISION
Does anyone know what he has to do to fix it? :y
-
Its related to the HID lighting self leveling.
First thing to check is the level sensors, one on the front passenger wishbone and one on the passenger rear trailing arm.
Make sure they are intact and the control arms are free and still attached.

I will have a look tomorrow, i know where the one on the wishbone is what i'm lookin for a broken wire??
-
could be as simple as the control arm popped off. Simple ball joint type, similar to accelerator cable. A cable tie, cleverly used, can be a work around until you get another from a breaker...
-
more likely the little ball joint has popped off. Next most likely is a fubar servo in the headlight.

Does that mean a new headlight then?
Hope Broocie's right ;D
-
no, if servo is duff, means a new servo. Theo did one at the weekend past, if I recall correctly....
-
Oh that doesn't sound to bad then :)
-
Its been standing for a while, might need a bit of freeing up of the ball joint on the level sensors.

Will be looking at it tomorrow with some WD40 :D
Cheers Guys :y

WD40 is no good, its not water you need to disperse, it needs lubeing.
What you have to do is get the ball joints free because its when these seize that the arm gets popped out of the sensor.
You will need penetrating oil and once nice and free slap some grease on them!

You know one day I will be as good as you with these cars ;D

Suffering from delusions again? ::)

On the subject of HIDs, I notice one of my lights "twitching a little" sometimes, for example, when I'm sitting in traffic. The beam edge seems to flick up and down a little as if the servo is a little unstable.
Is this a case of TADTS or have I got a problem developing?

Probably just wants the sensor arms actuating a few times....
-
Agreed. Unless the sensors are a bit worn (are they tracks, or something more clever?)
-
Just done the drop links as they came this morning :) and there is nothing on the front wishbone where this sensor should be? :-?
-
I am missing the little sensor, is this the connector for it?

The sensor is top right of your picture......but the actuator arm is totaly missing!
Time to give Dug a call and cross his palm with tenners....
-

There something more clever.....hall sensors with an offset magnet it would appear (the magnet is in the sensor arm where it clips into the main sensor body)

I guess a track would be unreliable with the constant movement over such a (normally) small area.

This car is gonna be like a Rolls Royce when its done ;D
