Sorry - just two more noob questions!
« on: 26 April 2009, 09:35:23 »

When I bought the car it had the 'Low Beam Fld / Vision' warning coming up, so I checked on here and it turns out the the front sesnor had seized up and partially fallen off.  Its all greased back up and fitted and the error has gone away - great - but now my headlights point a little too high, to the annoyance of every other driver.

Now looking through the old MOTs it says that the garage adjusted the headlight level, I'm guessing they did this become of the broken sensor.  I didnt think that these units were user adjustable, so how do I go about pointing them back to normal?

Also, where is the oil filter?  Im guessing Ill see it when I take off the front splash panel?

Cheers,
Dave

Don't know about the headlights I'm afraid but the oil filter is bottom of engine nearside at the back closest to bulkhead.

Hope that makes sense  ;D

no need to remove splash pannel, put the car on a axel stand, its on the passenger side towards the back.

I haven't got HID's on mine but i'd imagine they have a similar set up as the others. ie there should be 2 little hex screws on the front top of the light, 1 adjusts left to right and the other does up and down.

Even if they are HID's they need to be set up in the first place but don't quote me on it :-/
