I will respond to this myself, after investigating further I found that the lamp with integral motor needs replacing, Its a common problem after a severe frost as the pivots on the light reflector inside the lamp unit freeze and when the motor starts to adjust headlamp beam level it busts its gearing.They are a big problem with Some Citroens and Hondas Civics
There are (aftermarket) units online without motor for £50 and with motor for £82. for right hand drive cars...thats better than paying Citroen £186.
