Dont know about the astra, but on my pug 306, remote or manual adjusters need to be seated correctly before they will adjust.

It helps by setting the adjusting mechanism to maximum or minimum (whichever makes it easier to attach) before inserting into the headlamp. Also right next to the adjuster mechanism was an allen key bolt which allows extra manual adjustment.

You will need to have a good play before it will lock in.

Good luck
