Unhappy

My 93 classic failed the MOT on Saturday
It failed on only one thing - the nearside headlight was out of alignment. The silver reflector inside the headlight was shining too high, I know it can be adjusted with the screw type thing on the back of the headlight but the reflector doesn't seem to be attached to it anymore so it just moves by itself.
Is there anything that can be done to fix this or will I need a new headlight ?? If so how much will one cost ?

Windyboy.

Yeah, I had exactly this problem on a MY96 i once owned, the mechanic at my dealer just pushed the reflector back onto the threads and adjusted it correctly, then passed the car. Didnt charge me anything either, it only took him ten minutes.
