    Headlight alignment

    My bus failed the nct on headlight alignment last week so il be getting it done for the retest next week but!!

    The driver side headlight wont adjust with the dial on the dash as the little plastic adjuster inside is broke it was like that on the last nct also

    Question i have is can a garage still align them if the adjuster is broke in the ds headlight

    The tester should have told you if it's aimed too high, too low or left/right.

    Can they not be adjusted by the mounting screws? They normally call you down to the floor to show you

    From experience testers tell you f'all.


    Told my buddy is nearside shock was leaking. Took it off, Its perfect the offside shock was leaking all over the place.

    Had only replaced the nearside 10 months ago, he was heading to the shop to buy two when i had it off and told him it was fine.

    Take any information you get out of them with a heap of salt.
