2004 rear suspension height sensor broken!

Hi guys, yesterday I changed the brake pads and decided to swap the wheels front to back to even out the wear. After we finished the job the N/S back was dropped right down onto the tyre. We couldn’t figure out why this had happened for a short time until we jacked it back up at the back and I noticed the N/S rear height sensor had snapped, soon as we pushed the sensor back up the car levelled out. Initially I thought it might be something to do with the “suspension inactive” message I’ve been getting since the ABS Ecu fault I’ve been getting but seemed not.

We glued it back together to get the suspension to stay up, it looked as though it has been broken a while. Is it possible to drive it then with a broken sensor and I’ve been driving around with it like this for some time?

Also I’ve been looking on eBay for a replacement and noticed that the ones with the part number RQH100030 say only suitable for models with halogen headlamps or just the N/S and from 2002-2004. I thought all L322 models has xenon headlamps. Then there is another part number for 2004-2009 models which is RQH500450.

Can anybody who’s had to sort these issues shed some light on the above questions please? 2004 RR 4.4 V8 Autobiography

Agreed but which part number is correct and can it be driven with the broken sensor? 2004 RR 4.4 V8 Autobiography

I don’t want to drive it but I’ve got to drop the kids off home to their mum. What I’m trying to figure out is can it be driven till I get the new sensor which isn’t going to be today or is a no no as suspension could drop at any point? I didn’t think that the suspension would drop unless the sensor was moved? 2004 RR 4.4 V8 Autobiography
