Even my gs has headlamp levelling devices. They’re manual though, a roller on the light panel to the right of the steering column.

Should be a straight forward replacement. Headlight unit is easy to remove. Not expensive either. Jules

Obviously didnt make myself clear to what I was referring to...
The motor should be a straight forward replacement. I think you 'll need to remove the headlight unit to replace the motor. The replacement motor is not expensive IMO. Jules

Ah yes.That part is indeed cheap £17.99.

Fortunately the garage tested everything and found a cable was split. So they’ve replaced the cable entirely, which should mean that does not go wrong in the future.

So MOT plus new bulbs all round , plus cable and time to trace fault £136 which I think is brilliant.

Garage is Llandudno Garage , Builder Street, Llandudno best number is Ian the owner on 07810562896 Thumbs Up 2008 Freelander2 SE Black SOLD
