There is a conflict with your vehicle and the listing you made for the type of vehicle. But several things to point out. First, if you drive on the opposite side of the road in France versus the United States, the headlight aim would be reversed.

The aim of the headlights can be different in the United States depending on State rules. In general, the curbside light is adjusted higher and the light on the oncoming traffic side is lower. The traffic side is adjusted more towards the center of the vehicle and the curbside is slightly over the curb. You do not want a dark area in the middle of your travel direction.

The vehicle is between 25 and 30 feet from a flat surface The light is adjusted a certain height from the ground. These specs vary and the height of your lights can come into play. Cover the opposite headlight to isolate the beam from the one you are adjusting. A simple towel can cover a lens.

There may be specs in France to cover this.

SOURCE: 2004 ford focus headlight ajust ment

Your adjustment screws should be white nuts (adjustable with an allen wrench, or a socket, or a pair of pliers) located behind the headlamp assembly right up against the fender

Park your car on a level ground 30 feet from a wall and measure the height from the ground to the bulb and mark on a wall. You only need to do this and the aiming for your low beams as your high beams are on the same bulb

Your headlights should also say VOR. When you turn on your headlights, aim them right at the mark that you put on the wall, with the brightest cutoff directly under the mark

SOURCE: ford focus wiring

same thing happened to us.  My wife came home and said the rear brake lights were stuck on so I assumed it was the brake switch...not so. Took car for a ride and noticed rear wiper did not work and when I hit the brake the rear hatched opened and door locks blew out.  I started by looking at the wires in the gromet above the hatch and found almost all the wires were bare.  Therefore power was jumping  the bare wires and traveling back down the third break light and to the rear brake lights and visa versa.. a very dangerous situation.  The best that I can tell is the wires are so short in length that they pull and chafe every time you open and close the hatch...very poor design...   Note: we bought our vehicle brand new and some of the wires had electrical tape on them....seems mickey moused.

Ford Transit swb driveshaft centre bearing replacement

Are you working on the front wheel or rear wheel drive model?

I have little experience with front wheel drive models but once the drive shaft or propellor shaft has been removed, bearing replacement is fairly straightforward. I believe the drive shaft bearing is retained with a shrunk-on collar while there is no special retainer of the propshaft centre bearing and is easily pulled off once the two shafts have been separated.

Hi, presented with 1995 2.5d jeep, why should i seriously consider swopping it for my 2004 ford transit? Live in country, would need to change lights to left hand drive, also get certificate of conformity...

The first concern is that you would be getting a car 9 years older than yours. Is the vehicle mileage similar? Can you deal with the steering and other controls on the wrong side? I'd guess that the fuel mileage would be worse with the jeep. The headlight swap would be little problem. Have you looked into any parts procurement problems? Would local mechanics balk at repairing a non-French vehicle? This is a pre-OBD-2 emission specification vehicle if that matters. Being a Jeep, it may have been used roughly. If none of this matters much, go for it!
