Just use a grabber tool, or follow the air vent to where it is exiting and shake them out of there. Whereabouts are you location wise, if nearby I can bring my tool over for you?

That's kind buddy thank you, I'm in Gloucester but I've got some good ideas now thanks to this thread and ordered a few tools which should help now and in the future!

Lol, waiting for Amazon to deliver my tools! The cold didn't take me during the night, I'm lemsip'ed up shivering under a duvet awaiting Mr Amazon

Bulbs retrieved, new halogen bulb in place, the grabber thing suggested did the trick to get the bulbs so thank you to those who suggested it, I even managed to fill the washer fluid up without frying the ECU or snapping the cambelt. Win!! Thanks all, much appreciated and I hope my little endeavour was if nothing else some bank holiday entertainment!!

Good job! This is all part of the learning experience with cars and home diy!

Headlight bulbs are proof the engineers hate the mechanics.

Headlight bulbs are the proof that the accountants hate everyone; no engineer not working under the yoke of rabid cost saving would design them that way

Agreed. If access was restricted from behind decent engineer would design the whole headlamps to pop out forwards. That would cost 3p more though.

I thought everyone would be one the 80 post per page settings?

That's not the default layout. Why would everyone be on that mode? Common sense says the majority would be on default layout.

[Bluejmc2005]

yes may seem trivial, but I for one really appreciate the support, humour and advice received - thank you all :-)
