Suggestion

As I understand it, it would only fail an MOT if the beams are set too high.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Am after a bit of advise - my xenon headlights have stoppped auto-adjusting and on closer inspection i have noticed that the bracket that holds the auto level sensor on the front suspension has snapped meaning it cant work. Firstly, has it set itself at a automatic legal level ? and if i replace the bracket and re-fit the sensor will it all work again or will it have to be reset by garage or opc ? Also is it an MOT failure if they dont auto-adjust ? Sorry there are lots of questions - really appreciate any feedback AngusR

POST 2Original post

You would know if it has gone into the 'safe' setting, as it only lights up the road a few feet in front of the car. I would just go ahead and change the bracket. It shouldn't need calibrating after fitting, as you will be putting it back to its proper position. As I understand it, it would only fail an MOT if the beams are set too high. They don't check the level control.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
