If that's so you can consider yourself lucky not to have this adjustment - it's a problem less to repair.

 

My project has to go on hold for 3 weeks as I am going back in the USA
and the car is in England/

I will keep you and the forum posted when I start the project.
but I do have a couple of more questions,
when removing the front bumper, is it vital that the front wheels are removed?
I am hoping to let it hang there any tips
do the washer covers just click off?
do you have to disconnect the spotlights

Trouble is when you talk through a job, you get all the apprehensions, just wish I could grab the tools and get on with it.
Thanks for all the help to date, I might make a utube video, probably up to Emmy standard or even get an Oscar!

 

Howdy,
No its not essential to remove the front wheels.... but it just make life a little easier - when undoing the screws around the ends of Front Bumper Cover and front wheel arch panel.

Suggest you read this thread and grab the PDF I posted in there (#12)

Good luck

 

In my case the adjusting motor seems to be the problem, not the clips. Does anyone here have any idea if this is the part I need? JAGUAR X-TYPE HEADLIGHT HEADLAMP STEPPER ADJUSTMENT MOTOR | eBay

 

Here is an update on my problem. The adjustment engines on these lamps are actually replaceable, even at an official Jaguar garage. In another words – you don’t have to replace the whole lamp in any case. However, in my case it wasn’t the actual engine causing problems, but the signal cable. As I mentioned earlier I had already been testing the power- and ground cable. But there is also a third signal cable in addition to the other two which I didn’t knew existed. It appeared to have fallen off - probably during some previous change of bulb. With the signal cable back in place the adjustment engine works as it should be.
