Hi gents,
What is the generic replacement bulb spec/designation/JaguarPartNumber for the front fog lamp-bulb please? I think the SNG Barratt catalog is not entirely accurate here...
Any info as to the dismantling of the fog lamp assembly for bulb replacement would be really helpful... TIA

Graham & David,
I pulled the bulb as per instructions Graham posted. The part number given is correct, but the bulb is actually a H1 12V 55W Halogen Long Life, which is identical to the low beam headlamp bulb.
I'd gone out and bought an H3 bulb which wouldn't fit of course. After reinstalling the "failed" H1 bulb, it somehow came on again. So much for a 20 year old's wiring and bulb... Cheers & happy motoring !!!

Well spotted.
I've edited my original reply to this from H3 to H1 to avoid misleading anyone reading this post in future.
I had also taken the information from the Vehicle Care Handbook which is incorrect. However, JEPC does give the correct bulb type:
