My offside headlamp beam is much too high and is about to fail the MOT. Does
anybody know how I can set the headlamp aim to within UK MOT requirements
please?

Thank you,
Steve

Sorry, it's a v70 but what I really want to know is the height of the beam
above the ground at a certain distance. I can do the adjusting, but I don't
know what to adjust to, and the electric adjuster is broken so the beam has
to be spot on before it goes in for the test.

Also, check out the venerable Daniel Stern's method.

Thanks very much for the links. I searched high and low (no pun intended!)
and couldn't find a thing.
