Hi

Can anyone tell me what the twisty dial on the left of the steering wheel does. Its got what looks like a headlight picture and markings /// --- // --- / like that.

Thanks.

Headlamp level/height adjuster

Ah rite. Must be broken, nothing happends when i turn it. Is there a manual way to tilt the headlights back up because i think they are stuck down. IVe tried the adjusters under the bonnet but the dont give enough adjustment.

Thanks

Have a search, been covered loads.

Did you find it, Goose? This one seems the best :

Had a look as mine's stopped working too. Anyone know what fluid it takes and is it possible / easy to refill if I want to?

Cheers

hi

yeah i found that one, i had ago at adjusting it but there didnt didnt seem to much extension on the screw, it made a small diffrernce. I was thinking the same thing about refilling however it seems like a time consuming job from the haynes manual, ill let u know if i try it.

you'd be amazed at how little (like 5 screw threads) can make to the level

Mine have failed too, first one headlight adjustment then the other when the headlights were adjusted during MOT tests. :(

they fiddle with bits on your test??? here they dont even see if window open ...... amazing and it lasts 2 years too!

the light beams face left not right mate! "ok so its not an issue forget it" puffffffffff

I don't think that MOT Testing Stations are required to adjust the beams. They just test and, if the beams are outside limits, fail the car. However on both occasions my car's headlights were adjusted and the adjusters broken. Being summer, I didn't find out until some time after the event when I had reason to use the headlights.
