Cooper Convertible - what is this please?

[Skyedriver]

Had the front wheels off yesterday for al look at brakes. Spotted this little electrical sensor(?) . What is it please?
(These modern cars totally baffle me).
Thanks

The thing with the rod connected to it? That will be the headlamp level sensor - i.e. when you have a lot of weight in the car it re-levels the headlamps to stop you blinding people.

That sounds about right, thank you. Modern cars eh!
