Height Adjustable Headlamp problem

[Maranman]

Like a complete twat! I accidentaly disconected the adjusting motor unit from the rear of the headlamp unit instead of the cover for the sidelight which has blown.

I do have a Haynes but can't find it
Its been "tidied" away due to Christmas grrr

If I had had it then I would have checked the bulb changing procedure before fiddling - of course Don't we all.....

ANYWAY, now thats off my chest, the problem is that the headlamp is pointing at the tarmac about 6 feet off the bonnet which ain't good in these foggy conditions.

When I realised what I had done, I thought that I would just poke it back and hey presto but NO! don't be silly it has to be MUCH more Puggy complicated

In the absence of Mr Haynes, can anybody give me a clue what to do.

By the way its a D8 2.1TD GLX Estate

Merry Christmas

When discussing the removal and refitting of the headlight this is the advice given:

On models fitted with a headlight levelling system, if necessary, remove the motor from the rear of the light unit by rotating it anti-clockwise and carefully unlcipping it balljoint from the rear of the reflector assembly

As per usual "refitting is a direct reversal", so I think you have gone wrong on the ball joint not being clipped in properly.

Good luck

Cheers V6 for the speedy reply - luckily not at work today - had a look and a fiddle and I think its ok now

In the dingy afternoon, when I did this, I think that I must have actually used the little ball thingy to push the reflector plate out of position....next time the order of work must be: (1) Find and read Haynes (2) Use LED Headtorch (3) Wear my Glasses
- in that order

Merry Christmas and a Prosperous 2008 to all Puggy's and their families
