Corsa (x14xe) failed MOT today on the following:
Washer jets not working.
Both headlight beams too high.
And exhaust emissions.
Any tips on how to fix these problems would be much appreciated. Especially on the emissions, would a new lambda sensor help?

Adjust the beam on headlights, by opening bonnet and along slam panel above the light there is a hole, in the is either a bolt of screw head, turning that moves light up and down, or take to your local garge they will do for £5/10
Washer jets - If you can hear pum pushing out water but nothing coming out, try putting a needle in the jets on bonnet, to remove and dirt/debrees.
How old if your exhaust system is it standard?>

Good ragging before the test.
Test centers ive been too have always adjusted the head light aim when there checking it. Cheeky of them to fail you for it, when they can do it there and then :/
