   Hi yesterday i was in mot and my car failed because of the headlamp being to high and the guy was trying to fix it in the mot because it is a screw or something there to adjust it but its not doing anything. How to fix this?

   Its an allen key,on a motor controlled by a toggle switch in the car.So maybe you need a new motor.

   Sounds like you need a new motor on the headlight then.

   Well a motor can be had from a scrap yard,angel eyes look pretty good on a saxo.Which saxo do you have a mk1 or mk2?
