Owners manual describes this as difficult and suggests leaving it to the dealer. I am confident of doing it myself - just need tips on where to start. Do I go in under the bonnet or by way of the wheel arch ?

Oh, its a 2008 model.

Thanks for your suggestions. I doubted several of the how-to instructions and videos suggesting an under-wing entry and followed my instinct by going in under the bonnet.

Loosened the air-box and it was fairly easy but the space is really tight for those of us with chubby hands. The bulb holder needs rotating clock-wise and required a squirt of WD to free it.

All done.
