Headlamps Not working V70 2005

[expolicev70t5]

Have found a pic on my phone will try upload tomorrow morning, in mean time I will try explain a little better go to the nearside rear wheel look under the car from the rear of the wheel so your head is near the tail pipe , you will see the rear arm running from the rear suspension back towards the centre of the car. About 3/4 of the way along it there looks to be a u shaped shield. Sat in this u shaped shield is the self leveling ride sensor. One end should be attached to the bottom of the arm there is then a rod/arm with an elbow half way along it going to small box. The bracket at the bottom of the arm rusts and breaks free of the suspension bottom arm allowing the sensor arm to drop below the suspension arm this then reads on the sensor as if the car is heavily loaded and therefore drops the level of the head lights

This is view as described looking from behind rear wheel, pic was taken when mine was tie wrapped to suspension prior to re welding the bracket

Have you tried getting in touch with Andy on here ploppy? He's always been good and isnt too far away from you. He may even have some of the xenons in to try too?

No I havent, think he was fed up with me so didnt want to bother him again

I would say the CEM is missing the feed/signals from A-7 & A-5 don't know what they should be that's why you are getting a fault message.

Ok,,, UPDATE

ok so new halogen lights fitted , however have to disconnect headlamp motor as kept knocking the lights down,

However even if this is disconnected and wound up as high as the beam will go, local garage says my beam is still too low to pass an MOT

But lights are fitted correctly, both motors although un connected are new and at max raise level

Totally baffled on this ???????????????

Just thinking about your problem have you tried Fitting the old levelling motors as the might be different ?.
Looks like the part numbers are different

Hi Harvey ,

yes indeed , but still no joy

Just wondered if the slam plate is different on the xenon cars so the lights point lower?????
