Yes, I want to say the motor and position pot are internal to the motor so the puter won't know the lamps isn't aimed correctly if the rod fell apart.
To the OP, heat the edge where the lens clips to the housing and work the rubbery sealant out from between them. There's a ton of stuff on Youtube about how to do it. Mine had a wire break inside.

Been today at the Jaguar dealership/service for the AFS warning light.
They called me and said that it is the AFS control module (smwhr near the RH side footwell). What puzzles me is that I swapped the 2 headlights and the problem follows the Left headlamp....
I told them to proceed with the order of the control module and see what happens...

Ditto. I often wonder how competent these dealer techs and service writers really are. Seems they don't mind shotgunning parts at the owners expense.

I already told them that, and to my surprise, they agreed. It will take 3 weeks for the module to arrive though...

DrG, could you please also inform us what approx. mileage the headlight had done when you had the issue?
And, more importantly, was it a permanent problem, or did the left headlight point down & AFS warning light only every now and then?
In my case I only get the problem intermittently, so it would actually be very difficult to swap lights side2side for a test, as one cannot drive around with swapped headlights while waiting for the AFS warning light to appear.
Thanks!
