Yep give Vexi a call, I broke off the ball socket that connects the bar, they supplied the correct part. There should be bolt with a ball head and nut on both connecting points, if either is missing you will need to ask for it along with the bar itself.

Would this be a MOT failure in the UK? Mine is looking rather crusty and virtually no play in it at all, I'm worried if I tinker and try to free it up I'll break the bloody thing. |

Yep. Mine failed mot just last week on that exact thing 'load sensing device' It was seized up, now it's free, braking is far better, I can feel the van braking on all four wheels! Think failure sheet said 'dangerous' |
