Try reading THIS. Looks like you just .....GENTLY......lever up the surround to start with. The unit is held in place by plastic pegs in clips so go steady and 'feel' your way .

Thankyou for that, unfortunatly a rather heavy handed owner before me had already managed to break most of the clips but still did the trick, now to buy a bulb, never seen one like this before, nor had the 6 shops i went to lol, tomorow will be a trip to fords I think,
many thanks again

Dogma,
Just for future reference I find the end of a steel rule covered with a rag is ideal for that sort of job
