remove headlight mounting panel,3 phillips screws and use plenty of WD40 and a pair of small mole grips to free the adjusters!

WD40 doesn't always work on the adjusters. They loosen up, but the thread in the "nuts" can strip. New adjusters are cheap from the dealers though.
Faulty hydraulic unit has a manual adjustment (which doesn't seize up) by turning the outside barrel of the hydraulic cylinder. There is also a preset adjustment, if the barrel doesn't give enough range, by turning the threaded rod in the middle with a cross head screwdriver from the ball end.
