I have felt and crawled all over the interior but cannot find a wheel or other device for adjusting the headlamps.
On page 48 of the manual it refers to what it says is automatic correction of the headlamps - well, if that's so, they don't appear to have made much difference on the way to France through Dorset the other week in the middle of the night.
Where is the headlamp adjustment wheel on the C5 Mk3?

On my car it is on the left hand side of the steering column, directly below the indicator stalk.

Same here, but perhaps the ones with xenons don't have an adjustment because its all so magic? Not sure which had xenon, perhaps none as standard but an optional extra on exclusives?

Yes, in fact I believe Xenons are illegal without self-levelling suspension - is this an hydraulic C5 ?
Re: Where is the headlamp adjustment wheel on the C5 Mk3?
Self leveling suspension is not enough for C5's with Xenon's, It doesent react fast enough. The C5's that have standard Xenons fitted have a seperate auto adjustment systen for the headlamps, I would therfore imagine that it may not have a manual adjuster wheel for them.
