Hi, i was driving along tonight when the display told me to check headlight field/vision. Err...what does it mean? The headlights are still on, i know a foglight bulb has blown but they werent in use at the time. The cars a 99 elite estate 3L

You've a fault with either one of the level sensors on the front nearside wishbone or rear nearside radius arm, or .... one of the level motors within either of the headlights.  You need a code reader to diagnose which.

Automatic headlamp height adjustment not working correctly.... as you have HID's ..

Possibilities ..

1) sensor has popped an arm ... 2 sensors ... one on front left wishbone, one on back rear suspension arm ... check them both

2) internal adjustmenbt motor/mechanism inside the headlights fubar ... don't think this is fixable .. needs a new headlight ..   ( I think .. hopefully wrongly )

There you go .. 3 answers at the same time ..

level sensors

If you haven't got level sensors how come you've got motors on your lights?  What controls them?  Are your lights HID?

[mathewst]

If the lights are not hid level is controled by the potentiometer switch oposite to illumination switch of the instrument board. These lights also have motors

I absolutely guarantee you you did not have that come up on a pre 1998 MID - the early MID doesn't have the functionality.  You may have seen it on a post 98 MID in another car , and even then, only if:

a) MID misconfigured, so warning on all time
b) the headlight levelling ECU fitted to HID cars told post 1998 MID to warn driver of detected fault

As other said, check if the arm popped off on front and rear nearside suspension arms (front in particular), failing that will need code read.

Whoops - you're right, remember the system on a cd (company car years back!!)
