Mot on Friday so she took the daily to the guy that always checks my headlights. He couldn't get them adjusted properly, adjusters are shot I assume. So had to set the electric adjuster dial to 3 to get them low enough.

I know for MOT the adjuster dial has to be set to zero. Question is, if I cover it on the dash or blank it off will that be OK?

I've had issues in the past where the MOT examiner had failed the car for headlight adjustment, when I queried this and produced the receipt for adjustment 2 hours previous it was met with an oh, ok it passes.

Send her on and see 🤷‍♂️

Wouldn’t draw attention to it personally. Can always tell him the boot is full of sand and bricks 😂

I'm thinking there's lots of cars that don't have electric adjusters so if the dial is not there it can't fail 🤷‍♂️
