Clio 182 MOT failed today...

[Stevee182]

Just took my car for an MOT and it has failed, it failed on a sensor at the near side rear. I'm not sure what this is or does? The arm is just hanging down, will I be able to just get a new arm for it?? Any help would be great. Thanks :dapprove:

Does the MOT fail not say what the sensor is?

 

[Stevee182]

It says reason for refusal 'Brake load sensing valve linkage defective', he wasn't sure what it was though, lol.

Only applies to the 172 Cups though.

Thats to do with the lack of brake force on the rear and the 'missing' brake bias valve on a 172 Cup, so not really relevant.

read it again....it does cover the 172 182 and cup.

It'l be the headlight levelling sensor its failed on, they dont have a load sensing valve attatched to the back axle

thinking about it i have just re read the vosa page and like you have said it shouldnt be fitted to the 182.... the above would make sense if the MOT person wasnt sure if he had seen the correct item(as said pervious post above)
