Barry Oakley Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hi everyone, 2005, 3lt. The warning light, on start up comes on then off as it should, but then back on. Both lights dip then raise on start up and work fine, any Idea’s please. Haven’t used lights since winter, but concerned over upcoming mot. Thanks for the knowledge you all give. All the best.

MonsterS Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Hi, If i was you look for the leveling bar and see the switch/sensor and just try and give it a good clean. it could be full of debris. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Oakley Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Thank you so much for the information, the light came on another couple of times and hasn’t since, so no problem with the Mot. I now have another question, I’ll start a new topic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerrie Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 where is the levelling bar located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundhiller Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Like Kerrie, I would like to know where the sensor for the self-levelling headlights is. Anyone help with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjvh Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 On my 2005 v6 it’s attached to the rear drivers side wheel. Same on my mates 2003 v6. I would guess same for all Alphard’s. It’s very prone to seizing in British weather (wet, dirt, salt kills the rubber and metal). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundhiller Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Thanks wjvh, I’ll have a look for it and at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjvh Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I’ve just had to replace the ball-joint levelling arm, see pic of original which has clearly had too much British road salt and not enough cleaning. It has completely seized and was the source of a loud squeak from the R rear; I’m just relieved it wasn’t something more expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjvh Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I replaced with this rather nice item I bought on eBay for £14 delivered. I did have to cut a longer connecting bar (M6 threaded bar, cut to 50mm; it came with a 40mm bar which would only just have done it). I also added the washers and the nuts to secure the connecting bar length. Total time to replace was 10 mins; quick clean up down there and some liberal application of ACF50 and all looks good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Oakley Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 Hi everyone, thank you wjvh for your info, you are right, needed a good clean and spray, hope it’s done the job, by the way there’s a good clip on You tube for folks like me who are not sure. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there Could you please post the part number or link please? My light came on and with further investigation I found it has snapped! All I can find are for a toyota Avensis.
