Hi,
Anyone done this themselves before? I think mine need adjusting, and having replacement the plastic adjusters on all the lights now would be a good time!
Does anybody have any tips on doing this?
I found this article that seems to make sense:

Funny enough, its got a photo of a car that looks very familiar! (almost rocco like).

Re: Headlight aim adjustment
One thing that may help... you need to make sure that the centre line of the car is lined up exactly with the centre line of the lights on the wall, and that it's square on for this to work properly, else your alignment will be WELL out (an inch at the car could be 2 ft at 100ft).
2 Straws stuck vertically on the centre line of the car will help you line THAT bit up, then measure light to wall on both sides to get the right measurement.

Re: Headlight aim adjustment
Take it to an MOT centre, bung them the price of a pint and ask them to do it to MOT standard, that is what I did!!!

Re: Headlight aim adjustment
that pdf looks somewhere close, although the 4 headlight stuff will be for 4xdip and 4xmain, and the diagrams are for LHD countries. haynes always used to put good info on this in the older manuals (don't need to be a rocco manual)
