CrumbMC Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Just spotted this while walking up my driveway. the car hasen't been driven since i came back from oulton park 2 weeks ago. Sorry for crappy pic, only have my work phone as a way of getting a pic onto my comp. Anything to put my mind at ease / prepare for big expendature will help Pic is taken from just behind the nearside rear wheel. I'm sure whatever that is should be attached... Quote
buster Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 auto headlamp adjuster thingy i think if it is ....i had the same problem once i lowered the zed...held together now with the help of the trusty old cable ties. Quote
buster Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 yeap....to do with when you have weight in the luggage area,or so i am lead to believe. Quote
Zugara Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 yeap....to do with when you have weight in the luggage area,or so i am lead to believe. How strange........ Quote
CrumbMC Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 Thanks guys. If anyone else can confirm this that would be great. I'm an electrician so i can cable tie like a boss if that's all that's needed. Quote
buster Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 i just re pushed the ball and socket together and added a tie to stop it coming apart....seems to have held. Quote
CrumbMC Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 Zugara, all HIDs must have auto leveling so you don't dazzle oncoming cars if you have Chris Moyles in the boot. Quote
CrumbMC Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 OK thanks mate, il get it done this weekend Quote
Wasso Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Don't think it will be that Bob, the pic is from behind the rear wheel? Quote
Zugara Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Zugara, all HIDs must have auto leveling so you don't dazzle oncoming cars if you have Chris Moyles in the boot. Realise that, but I thought the levelling system was part of the ballast unit? Can't see why there would be a levelling unit at the back end of the car. Quote
Zugara Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Don't think it will be that Bob, the pic is from behind the rear wheel? That's what I said too Ian........ Bob, your talking Quote
buster Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 thanks Alex ....cant beleive Ian and Paul doubted the technical/mechanical prowess of a ''zed shed'' technician. Quote
buster Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Bob is correct Doh!!!! Sorry bobby boy..... no worries it takes a big man to apologise when he s wrong IAN ,sits back waiting Quote
ChrisS Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 thanks Alex ....cant beleive Ian and Paul doubted the technical/mechanical prowess of a ''zed shed'' technician. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 thanks Alex ....cant beleive Ian and Paul doubted the technical/mechanical prowess of a ''zed shed'' technician. Yup, totally beyond comprehension Quote
Wasso Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Just a really peculiar place to put a part that relates to headlights Quote
ZMANALEX Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Just a really peculiar place to put a part that relates to headlights Makes perfect sense as it is mechanically hooked up to the the rear ARB drop link and electronically to the headlamp levelling. Its main function is to lower the beam when the boot is loaded Alex. Quote
CrumbMC Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 Thanks everyone, and congratulations on being right Quote
marzman Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 As the saying in my office goes... "Every day's a school day". Quote
Ebized Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Not surprised Bob knew what it was, afterall he has seemingly lived under a ZED for most of the past year Quote
Keyser Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Go Buster the ZedShed Tech Now get better and get your arse back in the shed!!!!!! BTW Bob you didnt have to tell em we used zipties on yours Quote
buster Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 BTW Bob you didnt have to tell em we used zipties on yours zipties should be kept by every garage....its the ultimate repair tool. got us out of a couple of situations Quote
