The height adjustment motors not working was caused by the driver side loom chaffing on the body (the wire was virtually cut through) - resoldered and repositioned the loom and the motors worked.
Took the offending highlight unit out and the arm of the adjuster had come out of it ball socket - some time and brute force later and it was popped back in again.
The only thing now is that the lights point quite low dowm on setting 0 so I just need to use the manual adjustment to set them correctly.
