There adjusters built into the back of the hadlamp units to adjust the lights sort it out the electric ajusters to adjust for weight only. You use a thorz bit I think to do it from memory its a bit of a pain space wise.

Just stick sme locking compund on the nut and tigthen it if if its just looses it shoulnd't though why is it loose?

ARB can be a pain to do its not that bad though.

Check/chnage the pads and bleed the brakes its onyl cheap and easy to do (although saying that those clips holding the shoes on are a bugger).

Car height shouldn't be that big an issue are they say right the springs?

Check the rar windows for the water he seats arn't great also take the rear seats out the big bar accross the back check that as water can leak in from there. Otherwsie check the rear lights.

Do the same for the rears then there the nipple on the top of the drum.

do you think this is the reson why then? but how come one side is working?

One side has n't dropped much fluid.

Just bleed it then remove the drums and check it all. Maybe a pistons failed.
