Suspect many will know what I’m talking about so won’t post any pics - is it really as difficult as it appears ?

Google is throwing a bit of a blank - ranging from either a YouTube video showing the need to use a two post lift to take off the bumper (!) or a suggestion that I can shrink my hand 65% to access the connector.

Maybe a better question - Halfords are offering to fit a new one for just over £15 plus bulb cost. Will they honour this irrespective of the work required ?!

No they won't honour it, they have a list of cars that are excluded... it'll be on it. And you can remove the autobox and associated gubbins to give a bit more access but even doing a headlight bulb in situ is a ballache so yes, indicators are nigh on impossible. Bumper off is the easiest way, it's doable on the ground.

This is where us Ford era Volvo owners sit back feeling smug that our entire headlight slide out having removed one tent peg style clip. A headlight bulb is literally less than 2 minutes.
