It appears that Felicias suffer a problem with the headlight aligment, eg it goes off and cannot be fixed. I'm told by Skoda dealer there's a kit available (at hideous price to put this right) or they can be fixed permenantly in place.

Is this true if so any suggestions on cheap diy method?

cheers

Surely this would be classed as a design fault and should be fixed for free??

Or am I just being naive?

Worth a try I suppose, but I doubt it

No joy, :sorry: still run out of time have to fork out money to get thing through mot. Will advise on what the 'trick' actually is in case anyone else has an old a car as me.

Had same problem on my previous car '95 Felicia LXI, my Skoda Dealers just aligned the headlamps but disabled the switch inside the car. Passed MOT no problems, and although I could have paid to have them fixed on a 9 year old car, the outlay was too much!

remove the remote adjuster out on h/light and unscrew the pin to adjust up

Cheers for advice jet engines available ex stock from Rolls Royce derby, will see if I can fit one in back of car on my next visit there...

cheers

There is no adjustment pin that I can see & it seems that the entire unit is integrated. What EXACTLY are you guys talking about? I agree with previous post - it's a design fault and should be fixed for free.

Remove the adjuster unit from the back of the headlight.

The rod that goes into the headlight and connects to the bottom of the reflector has a phillips screw end on it. Wind this out, it wil lengthen. Refit the motor and it will have raised the headlamp giving you some more adjustment on the regular adjuster.
