The car was in for its 92k service today at my favourite Indy and they found the rear xenon level arm snapped under the upper ball end

I've had a look to see if I could jerry rig something up but can't get decent access from the side, even with a jack. Looks like a lift is going to make it easier.

Garage has quoted £67 for the sensor (can't buy the arm separately!) And 0.6hrs to replace. Best book it in in the morning.

I've set the lever to a mid point do not to blind people.

Strange, usually when one of the sensors or arms fails the lights hit the deck (drop to their lowest setting) as a fail safe.

 

The sensor can be had here for €60.00 (£46.00) so the price you've been quoted isn't far off at all...

That's what I thought to but it looked like it failed in a 'normal' position and hadn't moved. I moved the arm manually and could seem them moving about.

I did have to stop to move it back into place as it had gone low from my messing about!

Can't really wait for a second hand one or from Europe as doing a lot of night driving at the moment.
