Not Happy
Just got back from MOT and it has failed on Both Headlights being to High and the OffSide beam Pointing the wrong way.
Any one got any ideas how i can adjust this so it will pass?

[Gaffers]

level sensor on the front nearside wishbone popped out?

[downsmen]

It did a while back but i put it back in, but obviously in the wrong position.
What should i do to correct this?

[Elite Pete]

I would say its more than likely to be the headlight adjusters broken.

[PhilRich]

Wheel off, good squirt of Plusgas on each sensor leg pivot ball, & a couple of cable ties to hold the sensor head onto the main body 

[downsmen]

How do you see if the adjusters are broken?
Also what about the beam pointing the wrong way, is this changeable to drive abroad

[Welung666]

Pop off one of the rubber bulb covers and try moving the innards with your fingers. If they move more a millimetre or two then the adjusters are broken. Have a look in the parts section for a sticky at the top for replacements

[tidla]

if you take off the headlight rubber cover, grab the bulb holder, gentle pull and push will tell you, chances are the adjuster has fell to bits.

replacement bits in the off shop.

(too slow)

dont forget to check the beam setting lever is in the correct position.

[downsmen]

Okay will go and try that now

[Elite Pete]

Just be careful, its quite high voltage at the back of there

[downsmen]

I can move the bit with the bulbs in back and forward about 1cm and up and down a bit as well i guess there knackered 

[Gaffers]

Easy and relatively cheap fix. Just think if you had to replace the headlamps 

[Elite Pete]

Its a common one, replace the crap plastic adjusters with the alloy one available to the forum members

[downsmen]

Okay where do i get these from?
