Anyone know how to replace one? I've done the rears several times & they're easy but the front look a different kettle of fish! Thanks Richard

mine went a few weeks ago.
Easy to replace.
1st remove the head light by raising the two metal sliders at each top side of the light, then unsrew the cover, replace bulb, repalce cover  Duncan

use strong metal wire or cord, wear gloves, hook wire under metal lip and pull up hard. Better than levering. There's one wheel on my wagon, but i'm still rollin' along, it's the cherokee, they're after me, but I'm singing a happy song

then smear in good old vaseline before refitting. They slide up nice and easy next time  Pot Noodle Challenge Winner 2011

Job done thanks guys. Just 1/2 hour using the 'Solihull rope trick'
