[Guest]

Rear wheel suspension. What's this sensor doing?

Along with a similar one on the front suspension it monitors the car's attitude and adjusts the auto leveling for the headlamps?

I think you're right, just saw a thread about it in the is forum. Seems a complicated and vulnerable way to do it.

I'm getting quite a few drivers flashing me when driving at night, which I interpret as a message that they think I'm on full beam when I'm on dip. I wonder if the auto-leveling is out, or if the lights are just bright. Any others getting flashed a lot?

The headlamps needs adjusting

All the time. I flash them back as I assume they are just saying 'wow, your lights are amazing'.

First mot due in March so will find out.

When that's done I'll make a mark on my garage door to use as a future test.

I have the 6 monthly health check next month, so I'll get them to look at it.

What is this health check you speak of? No-one has ever mentioned that to me at Lexus. Is it free?

Not being nasty about it but don't you think you should treat it (a) a bit more seriously and (b) a bit more urgently? You seem to be saying that you think it's alright to go around dazzling other people and you don't care if they have an accident while they're temporarily blinded by your bright lights? Just a couple of seconds while their eyes adjust back to normal could make all the difference to someone's life and not in a good way.

Nope.

I usually wear dark sunglasses at night and find that help with glare quite a lot.

I have a service plan with Lexus Chester. Part of it is a 6 monthly health check where they report on stuff like brake and tyre wear and some other things I can't remember. Its a chance to have a nosey round their showroom as well.
