rear brake load sensing valve????

[lusted1]

Hi all,i recently purchased a golf mk2 syncro.It has been off the road for six years so expected there to be problems.Put in for an mot to get a better picture and there is more than i thought.One of the failings is a rear brake load sensing valve is siezed.Can someone tell me what this is,what it looks like and where it is?
This is my first project so will probably be asking a lot more.
Cheers.[]

It is Mounted on the rear axle carrier just to the right hand side of the rear diff, it is also connected to the rear ARB by a spring mounted control arm, and will have either 3 or 4 brake pipes connected to it as well, it looks like this []

the easiest way to spot it is to look at the rear swaybar, as its connected to that
