Could be one of the level sensors, FNS wishbone or RNS radius arm, that are U/S (like mine :()

Ive just parked the car up against a wall and turned on the lights before switching on the ignition.

Normally when I turn on the ignition with the lights all ready on the both lights dip down and back up again, this time neither of the lights dipped

could this be as simple as a fuse?   or more complicated like a sensor or motor ??

Its a warning saying that autolevelling isn't working, and it will try to get them as low as possible.

Most likely cause is failed link arm to sensor (hopefully) or server (hope not).

As a first port of call, check that the link arm is connected to sensors from suspension. One of NSF wishbone, other NSR trailing arm.

finally got to the bottom of low beam field on our 2.5, removed and dismantled left hand servo motor. I have never seen such a corroded mess, completely beyond salvation. Managed to find a replacement on ebay, fitted and now happily working.

After having similar problems a while back, I was advised similar to you, my problem was the front sensor had come off on the front n/s wishbone, it was dirty and when cleaned wouldnt pop back on without coming off a mile down the road..... someone here (cant remember who) said to wrap a laggy band around it to secure it in place.... well im still going strong 800 miles on  ;D heck if the laggy band breaks, just stick another on.. cheaper than a new sensor  :y
