What's this broken part?

Hi all,

 

Any ideas what the circled part is and what it does? The mechanic at my last MOT said that he thought it was part of the traction control system but it would be nice to confirm it.

Thanks in advance.

I think I'm going to try and glue it with some araldite first. It looks like I might have to slacken the nut so I can turn it slightly so the broken faces line up though. If this works does anyone know of any procedures I may have to go through to ensure my headlights aren't pointing at the moon or anything silly?

To be honest I haven't really looked at how to remove the part as yet. Do I try and remove the sensor if that's possible or is it a case of removing the brackets so I'm left with something like this:

Depending on which do you provide just the sensor Zmanalex and it's a case of me reusing the existing brackets or will it come with the brackets as well?

 

Thanks.
