Hi all,

I trawled the "How To" but couldn't see any threads on this.

Last MoT revealed the beam adjuster screw (plastic barrelled thing) on the n/side unit was broken. Quite how this happened is a mystery as I've never touched it. I'm tempted to think the main dealer broke it. Regardless of the cause, some careful bodging got it through the MoT.

With main dealer supply/fit approaching £600, I surveyed the job (connector/mounting points etc) and decided DIY was feasible.

Have today taken delivery of a Bosch replacement unit (£150 new) so will be looking to get to work.

Hints/tips on "How to" or direction to a source for instructions on a removal/re-fit very welcome. Might save my some knuckle skin!
