    If it was a half decent garage they would have adjusted it as all you do is use an allen key (On a MK2 Saxo with electric height adjuster) and turn it.

    Just turn the adjuster :/. Unless you got HIDS?

    Park about 6ft from a wall/garage door and try and align it with the other one that passed.

    It would have taken the garage longer to fail it than adjust it.

    Where I work we just adjust them.
