If you have another car park it facing the wall and mark where the beam is on the wall, get your other car at the same distance and place the other was and line them up on the marks you previously made.

I'd think any garage that does MOT's would help out.

Have a word with your local mot place or garage, they should not charge much.

Pretty fair deal - 4£ and it's all sorted ;)

Had a go at it last night but could not get it anywhere near as good as my philips head was not large enough, so would have needed to use a flat one... which would have taken me days since it was at the end of adjustment (refurbed them).
