Hi Forum,
Long story short, my wife’s 13 plate J10 has an issue whereby the headlight adjuster is not connected in one headlight.
No idea why, but we only noticed it after 5 years of owning as we’d never needed to use the adjuster until we recently carried heavy load at night.
I’ve had a look and can’t see an obvious way to relocate the blue adjuster nipple into the locator.
Is there something I’m missing, or is this a mechanic level job?!
Cheers
Headlight level adjuster

I presume:
A] You've checked the rod is going in and out?
B] You've set it fully out and tried pushing it into the headlight? Looks like it's a simple click fit?

The locator slides away into the headlight when I try and click it in. Tried holding in place with a screwdriver etc, but no luck!
