mmmmmm having read some other posts am I right in thinking I undo bolt and then pull headlight forward thereby giving access to rear of headlight and easy bulb change?

or am I going to have to get my tool kit out and use my precision instruments of hammer and chisel

Rather than "hold car and remove bulb", its "hold bulb and remove car"

Whilst I have the engine out do you recommend any other small service jobs that should be done? Fill up washer fluids I already know about.
