Mk4 Astra Headlights

[Dean Carpenter]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I adjust the beam alignment on my 2000 Vauxhall Astra Hatch? I know there is electronic levelling but one of my lights is lower than the other...

Also - what would cause the power steering not to "kick in" for a few seconds after the egine has started? Its happened twice now and I just drove off and the PAS came back.

Just above your head light on the front panel there is a rubber bung - pull it out and slide in a philips screw driver into the head light adjuster. Turn it one way for up and the other for down. Most garages will do this FOC if you ask them nicely.

Steering motor is fed from the alternator - no alternator output =no steering. Is your alt ok?

Come to think if it, when I push both electric window buttons, the headlights dim a TINY bit. My car has now done 100k...could it be alternator problem?
