Yeah got the headlight out and managed to put that metal round tip into the white circle socket. I haven't touch the motor adjuster as you say its already working. Booked MOT retest next Tuesday being confident that this fix will pass the retest. Many thanks for all advice. |
Checked it by comparing against the 'good' side parked facing a wall? If it looks reasonably similar (or somewhat lower (since the MOT guy turned it fully down) you should be good.

Yeah looks similar now. What is the default setting for the electronic headlight control by the steering wheel for everyday normal driving and what setting will the tester use to align and ajust the headlight manually?

From the owners handbook
| MOT Testers Manual wrote: |
Where driver’s beam aim controls are fitted the beam aim should be tested without altering the control setting except where this would result in failure for beam aim being too low.
In such cases the beam aim should be re-checked with the control set at its ‘highest’ position. |
