Hi

I've looked at the wiki and I'm happy with what sort of bulb I need. Is this as simple to change as it looks? Can I buy the bulb easily enough?

Thanks

Yeah, ten minute job. Bulbs freely available. :)

Changed bulb, no joy. Is this going to be a right fiddler?

Check that the wires on the capless bulb are sitting where they should be, and a bit of silicon grease works wonders for long term reliability.
