Paid my fiver so I'm gonna make the most of it, car failed MOT on couple of things, on including headlight adjustment (too far right and too high). Have read a couple of things on here about the electrical adjuster, but mine working fine. The light beam is still too high even when I screw the little white adjusting screw all the way down and clicking. So is the unit up the swany or is it something i'm missing?

Thanks for any help Thumbs up

If you mean the headlights mounting then, no, I have checked them. When I wind the adjusting screw all the way to push the lense down, it gets about half inch from where I want it then clicks as if its at the end of the screw. Might buy a new adjusting unit today just to try.

Maybe check the adjuster isn't detached inside the light unit. There's a ball and socket that I had detached in one of my crystals when I changed them. Although I think when detached it pointed too low rather than too high, but worth checking.

Just chucked in a new manual adjuster from pug, headlight now adjusts low enough now I think, but MOT fail list said also too far too right. Is there an adjustment for side to side. There is an adjuster on the right had side (looking down at the light still fitted) but adjusting this makes no difference, as far as I can see. Any ideas?
