2007 Headlight issue

[iiyama]

The wifes '07 XT-R has just failed an MOT due to offside headlight aim being too high. She was told that the aim could not be sorted because there was a breakage. Apparently when the aim was adjusted the unit fell back to its previous position. Thats all the info I have as I wasn't there to ask any questions.

So what is likely to be broken? can it be sorted on its own or am I looking at a new headlight unit?

Sorry the info is a bit vague! All info gratefully recieved.

Very often, if the car has had a minor bump on the front, the first thing to break is the plastic lug that holds the headlamp in place on the front panel, if that or the adjuster is broken you are into a new headlamp unit

Kingo

For potentially 165 notes, I would be looking to either repair the lug or ringing the local scrappy.
