Maybe someone could help me with this. I want to know how the headlamp raising/lowering works with the vacuum system. As my car has not run for ten years I have not seen it work.-------------
This is the solenoid....http://db.tt/1EtVlOw4
The aluminium plate limits the travel of the plunger when the solenoid is released, but is not critical. If you dismantle the valve, don't oil or grease it, just use a little talcum powder on the rubbers.
