Title: Mot fail on Xenons
Post by: Glyn on 29 June 2012, 20:37:37

Hi all

My mig failed its mot today.
Hand brake and,
 "nearside and offside auto levers not working" Headlamp aim too low (1.8).
Hand brake I've done, stripped the rear drums. shoes, levers etc, not an easy job
getting the shoes back on, still, works perfect now.
Not sure why  the headlamps aren,t moving, can anyone help.
On the offside lamp the internals seem quite loose compared to the nearside.
It moves freely if you put your fingers inside where the cable from the starter goes in.
Do the lamps come apart to check inside?.

Thanks Glyn
