does anyone know how to adjust the head lights as the beam is to high failed it on mot

[Robs-se]

Haynes says there is a hole above the headlight that a screw driver can be inserted into and turn screw to adjust to required hight. have the headlight adjuster on dashboard set at 0

there is a knob on the hieght adjust motor on the back of the headlight

Why didn't the MOT man adjust it ?

The part arrowed needs to be turned anti clock wise.

[tazz666]

aye that's the thing i was on about,
cause he was most probably a lazy git and couldny be bothered

[john.ness]

lol thats it he said the back springs are causing them to be high cos theyve collapsed i looked at back springs and there fine,so hes at it

[Fraz]

The hole in the top is for left to right adjustment ...the picture shows the bit to adjust the height

on a mot your not allowed to adjust anything as far as im aware

[James_Mould]

An MOT tester is not allowed to change/ adjust anything on an MOT, even someting as simple as that or a blown bulb.

Most good garages call you for small things like that to get your permission to change them during the MOT to pass it.

That maybe so, best get yourself a decent MOT'er.

I thought you could make adjustments within the testing period

my local garage where i have been taking all my cars for the last 10 years has just changed the MOT tester to a young guy. the c**k has been a total a******e, he failed mine for headlight adjustment, really not the same service. not going back and i have told them so. sometimes when it comes rules some things can be sorted there and then and if they wont do it then they really are being anal about it.

my guy at the mot place will always adjust it if he has to as he wudnt like to lose a good customer for something as small as that , he sorted me with a dodgy sidelight bulb he just said get yourself another one after he had put it through .been going down there 10 years + now
