Is this where headlight levelling motor lives
Can it be accessed with headlight in car
Can the levelling motor be serviced

TIA

Not familiar with Veccy-B but that looks like the actuator for it.  I suspect the system is identical to Omega-B, where those actuators are normally bulletproof unless they've had water ingress (when the motor corrodes and seizes solid)

What is the error you are getting?

I had an issue with them not sweeping
Strngw thing is never had Fld/Warning come up on MID
I serviced both levelling sensors ( stripped lubed reassenbled )
Had a general poke around and clean up
Which solved the sweeping issue
Just thinking that if i seviced to levelling motors that would be everything serviced

Sweeping up and down? They don't sweep side to side.

Check the adjusters aren't broken (does back of headlamps unit flop about with quite a lot of play?

They are sweeping up and down as expected
Nothing appears loose on back of head light
I can hear levelling motors cycle when ignition is activated
Just wanted to know if I can access levelling motors to service them
I believe it's remove headlights and seperated lenses from body to access
So will not be doing that then

Thanks for replies and help

That motor unit you circled unclips by turning 30 degrees or so, when pulls out. The motors are in that unit.  They are generally not servicable as in all cases where the motors have failed that I have seen, its been due to corrosion, too far gone for any sort of repair. You would simply replace that entire motor unit with a known good one.
