Default Headlamp levelling

Just had the head gasket replaced, and naturally the battery was disconnected. Now the headlamps will not level; is disconnecting the battery and the headlamps not levelling somehow related? Or is it a case that either the motors not working or the arms have come adrift somehow?

Sorry if I'm way off here, but are yours self levelling ( xenons ) , and was the car lifted at all when it had the work done? Sometimes the sensors on the O/S front ( possibly rear ) can get disturbed ( bent or flipped over ). Headlights aiming too low?

Dont' think you are, the lower rail was also replaced at the same time so it would have been raised, but they're not xenons just projectors. The lights are too low; failsafe I would guess. I see there are two others with similar problems.

Oh well back to the garage again, I'm now on first name terms with the service manager, this is the 7th problem in the 7 months I've had the car,.

Hate to say it but it's going to have to go

Just taken the rubber covers off the main beam lights and lo and behold they work

Then they don't

Is it a case of a little WD40 and keep on working them?

It obviousley heard my threat
