Well.... I will try to explain my self
When i drive at night I obviously have my lights on... why would i need them on when i stop? I turn the ignition off and that is the end of my journey!.. I then forget and get the annoying bloody beeping!
I had a VW Passat a few years ago and this was a popular modification, someone on one of the VW forums found out how to do it.

Well.... my hand has been forced with this problem.. after i refitted it yesterday I drove to work and when i took a right hand bend i heard a bit of a clatter from the front nearside.
Today i removed the nearside wheel to find the sensor main joint and the arm missing.... bugger!
So i removed the sensor in preperation for the replacement. I thought i would open it up and see what it was like inside...
I guess that is knackered?!
Hopefully thats what was causing the error!

OK. Cleaned the sensor until it was spotless and fitted it back on the car, it still doesnt feel like the main ball joint is seated properly and i still got the LOW BEAM warining! 
I checked the rear sensor and its in a bastered position, took one of the joints off and grease it up, the main ball joint is definetely more secure than the front one, however greasing the rear did'nt get rid of the warning.
My plan is now - get a replacement front sensor, just to be sure...
If i still get the error, I am NOT going to remove the rear one because its to damn difficult without it being on a ramp
SO is there anyway without TECH 2 to tell which sensor or ecu is causing the fault? is there a way to short one of the wires to the sensor so that I can either tell if is the rear one or just GET RID of the damn warning! (tricking it into thinking its working).
I am really getting pissed off with the warning (you may be able to tell fron this message!XX?)
any further help appreciated

I have been getting the very annoying low beam / field warning for some time now.
I have changed both servo motors on the rear of the headlights with no joy...
So today I ventured to remove the levelling sensor off the front nearside wishbone, it took about 30 mins due to the rusted nut that i had problems getting off.
I have attached the pictures below, I think the unit is broken due to the fact the part that goes into the sensor fell out easily during removal and seems not to be connected when pushed back in, it wont click into place or lock in any way.. which i assume it should??
General opinions on whether its knackered welcomed please.
