What is the stuff I need to ask for & where is the best place to get it? Halfords?

Cheers

Being a pragmatic kind of person, I just used black silicone sealant from B&Q! Holds the lenses firm and is completely watertight.

Pukka stuff is Sikaflex - most often found from marine chandlers.

You can also get Silkaflex from places that wholesale car paint to bodyshops.
Top tip, once you have used it the rest will be solid next time you go to use it. Clean the nozzle out with a small screwdiver and tissue and place a piece of clingfilm over the end of the tube before you screw the nozzle loosely on.
Always wear disposable gloves as otherwise you'll have black hands for the next 3 weeks until it wears off!!!!!!

The B&Q stuff worked a treat.
Thanks Richard
The reflectors are in a bit of a state. Has any one come up with a better alternatve to the originals?
