Came back from the main dealer, feel they've redeemed themselves in my view somewhat now.

Went in for headlight alignment, all went well quite a good price.
Cup of tea, free health check, wouid have washed it too but I do that myself. Whistle

Health check I was told mine was in A1 condition, one of the best they have seen recently. Shocked Razz

That's funny, last MOT Ford tried to make out I was driving a death trap. 🤔🤔

I didn't think 37 was bad, seeing as Halfords charge 30 so...

And yes, I know you can do it yourself roughly against a wall.
But now I know they are done properly and that is the end of it, and I'll now have the best output from my new Noldens.
(I think they were too low before).

I think the receptionist was rather keen on it herself. At least I think my 90 anyway. Whistle

Went off-roading with the Suffolk landrover club at the weekend, got some great tuition from some experienced trials drivers and then gave my 110 some proper use. I am absolutely amazed at what a stock utility will do on bfg 255 85 s even if they do rub a bit. Better sort out a 2 inch lift then.😁

They adjust both screws!

I had an argument with them after waiting 2 hours and guessed the alignment, when they wanted to book it in so they could "strip it down" to adjust...i pointed out they didnt need to, but what do i know!

I think it could probably do with some realignment - but it will need to wait until i can be bothered and find someone Mike

Yeah, it's pretty much got to be an MOT station with the right equipment.

Pretty sure it's the same it's or without H/L levelling, just needs to be set to zero if you do have it.
Mine however does not, kinda glad as they can be a pain in themselves.

Went out last night for a test and they are indeed aligned perfectly now.

Mine does have H/L

It was the up/down on mine drivers was too low so ive adjusted it to the same as the PX...the passengers needed moving up (real world comparison) so ive done that too.

I would be interested to see a picture of your light spread - i should be able to check mines spot on. - no ones complained at dazzle including the wife in her car (as a test) Mike

Gave the Landy a good hose down and fitted the glove box conversion I've had rattling around behind the seat for the last month.

Wish I hadn't bothered - looks rubbish. Sad

Hoping the steering guard and are wheel carrier look better when they go on..... https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews
