Headlight aim too low

My S2 failed its MOT a couple of weeks ago, rusty sills and offside headlamp aim too low.

I’ve just got the car back from getting brand new sills fitted and thought I’d have a 2 minute job adjusting the headlight but no amount of turning on the adjustment screw has had any effect at all.

The MOT expires on Thursday and I’d hate to think I’ve had new sills done but can’t get another because of the light!

Is there anything else I can do to get the headlight aim a bit higher, even if it’s just a temporary fix for now?

It’s noticeably a few inches lower than the other side.
 
You may need another headlight unit and by the way if your car has a fail issued against it the original MOT is no longer valid. Common
Misconception.

Thanks for the offer, it’s getting looked at tomorrow by someone who knows more about it than me so if I find I’m needing parts I may be in touch.
 
All sorted, was the plastic adjuster that needed replaced, luckily Brian Miller had some spares so it’s fixed and now has a fresh MOT.
