Welcome Neil. Its only rarely that I've heard of owners whose corner stick still works. It used to be said on here (I think - my memory is poor) that they had to be disabled prior to having their UK MOT done but I can't see why that should be. I find it a strange device. I guess people who are not very tall might have a problem judging the n/s/f corner of the car but its never bothered me much (crunch!).

Have you got a low coolant alarm fitted - now that IS a useful device. 8)

If you are asking what a corner guide actually is then it is a light on the end of a telescopic pole that comes out of the front bumper on the passengers side. It shows the driver where the corner of the vehicle is.
As above, they rarely work.

Mine does (but it's pretty useless really)

Well it is designed for the Japanese market, they are not known for being a race of tall people :lol:
