The headlight level control switch had gone so that the angle of the headlights was all wrong and it was an MOT failure issue.
It's dead easy to fix! Watch the video to find out.
This was on a 2001 year MG ZS, but it applies to a lot of other different models and makes since these sorts of parts are used all over the industry. Why bother buying a new part when the old one can be fixed in less time, plus zero money.
