I know this is probably a really stupid question, but how in the name of everything that's holey do you adjust the headlight alignment on a facelift Disco?

After the drive home from work tonight I noticed that mine are quite badly out of alignment, which is probably due to the number of times I've had to replace the bulbs over the past few months so I thought I'd adjust them, but no, it's not as easy as I thought.

Am I missing something so obvious I can't see it, or is the adjustment mechanism a t wat?

There are two holes about 3/4 inch diameter above the headlight units, marked "A" and "B". If you look down in those holes you'll see a toothed wheel which you can turn by sort of "flicking" them around with a flat blade screwdriver. I can't remember which hole does what:-

Argh, I did spot the little toothed ring, but I thought it was a locking ring of sorts and when the destructions said to use a flat bladed screwdriver, I was looking for a screw to turn.

Thanks chaps

All done, but I must say that is a most awkward method of headlight adjustment.
I bet the person who designed that was laughing to himself during the whole process
