Bulb or something else?
« on: 07 September 2009, 21:46:26 »

Have a warning " low beam/fld vision" popped up. All lights are working ok though.Assuming the check system measures resistance in the lighting circuits , does this mean a bulb is on its way out or is it something more expensive(probably!)Any ideas? :-?

most likely the arm has popped off the sensor, attached to N/S front and rear suspension.


its now pointing your headlamps lower to avoid dazzling others.

Is it just a matter of popping it back on if thats the case?

yes, normally pops back in, sometimes not, where imaginative fixes can work.....or get one off a breaker and replace.  (as I had to recently)

Thanks for that mate.Your advice has made me realise whats happened. I read on here a couple of days ago about popping off the self levelling lever on the rear suspension & raising the lever to lift the car for better access underneath. I did it yesterday to jetwash under the arches. Thats probably whats done it! Thanks for the advice.
