| Manual Headlight level adjustment. |

Should all D3s have headlight level adjustment?
In the 2005 manuals it shows a level adjustment dial on the light switch panel.

Only the coil spring version needs level adjustment - all air spring vehciles self-level.

It may to vary from country to country.
Here in Finland headlights levelling is compulsory (in case of coil springs) but mine arrived without levelling mechanism from factory. They had to replace both light units with new ones, not adding functionality to existing ones.
So, I assume that in some country variants car may come without levelling switch.

There was a recall about this -
RECALL ACTION Recall Action Number: AD029
Model Discovery 3, with Coil Suspension.
Model Year 2005/2006
VIN Range LA317870 to LA375716
Subject
Headlamp Leveling Not
Installed Date of Issue: 09 February 2006
RE: Headlamp Leveling Not Installed
Dear Colleagues,
A number of 2005/6 MY Discovery 3 vehicles with Coil suspension may have been manufactured without the headlamp leveling switch. The fitment of this feature is a requirement of the ECE R48 and 76/756/EEC (as amended) Lighting Installation Regulations.When the vehicle is loaded at the rear, the headlamps may point above their normal plane which may cause concern to other road users.
As a consequence of not installing this function, vehicles operating in countries where ECE standards and regulations are in force do not comply with the aforementioned ECE regulations. A listing of the affected vehicles is attached as Appendix 1. Only those vehicles listed in Appendix 1 are affected by this Recall Action. Disco 5 HSE Lux
