Please can anyone tell me if my headlight sitting proud can cause my car to have difficulties starting.
I recently took my car to the garage to have the headlight bulb changed as I didn’t want to do it it looks tricky. I haven’t noticed the headlight not being fitted properly as it’s only slight. But today my car would not start which is very rare as my car always starts has just had service new spark plugs battery and headlight bulb and other stuff to avoid this happening. When I looked at the headlight it is not located properly and I’m sure it feels warm at the top of the headlight or is this impossible. Would it be able to drain the battery if it isn’t fitted properly..

Really can’t see any connection between the headlight and the non start . Is it possible that they have run the battery flat fixing the headlight . ? If it’s the left side headlight , then battery connectors may have been disturbed.
