Ah!!! now my car show's a message on the onboard computer: "Headlight Field / Vision" 

Would anyone tell me what it is not happy about  and what i should check / change?  :-/

Cheers mates!

Front or rear level sensor, arm may have popped off

front n/s wishbone and o/s rear swing arm.

[Dave Elite]

Or one of the leveling motors may have failed.

Thats a possibility but, most usually a sensor easy to change too

..... but, most usually a sensor easy to change too 

 .... but expensive!
Lizzy Z has bought a new style level sensor at a grand price of just over £100, double the old price! :-?

[Ziad]

Right there guys ... Thanks.

I'll have a look today to see who's the culprit. I just hope it is not a change of sensor then ... what are the probabilities of the arm popping off ... and, are the leveling motors / sensor prone to failing??

suggest a visual check of sensors on both susp. arms and go from there, if you find the sensor arm hanging, most likely found the issue...

You could get a sensor from ebay or a scrap yard, thats what I did with mine that was under 10 quid not 100   

[Diamond Black Geezer]

I concur

When you cancel arror message does it recur immediately or is it a random timescale displayed message? My goes weeks without a hiccup and then 6 times in a day.

Some you reoccur ever 15m (coolant, oil etc), others once per session (headlights, washer level etc)

Now, I did a visual check on the suspension arms, the sensors are not dangling and the arms look to be in place. The question now is: where do i find the levelling motors?

thanks

I did indeed, plus!!   But it is a more robust and better looking unit, but of course for £110.65, ex-vat, with TC, it should!!   

If you did need this part it is VX no. 093197245

Thanks Lizzie.

Anyway, does anyone have pictures of everything i need to check for this fault (Headlight / Field Vision) - I just want to be double sure that i checked the right parts ( I'm kinda dumb with cars  ) before I buy anything coz EVERYTHING for the mig here is expensive ...

I've got the same problem.  No activity from the headlight motors, re-greased the level sensors but I get the error every time I turn on the ignition.  I'm hoping to get the error codes read as this appears to be the only solution.  Noy sure whether Tech2 is the only solution to this
