Whilst trying to replace a head light bulb I dropped the retaining clip and it fell down into the engine compartment. The local dealer advised that they are not obtainable and that I have to purchase the complete assembly.

Any one know where the clips can be purchased or obtained?

One alternative is to buy a telescopic rod with a magnet on the end. I don't know where you get the rods from but I've seen them used by a couple of different garages so they must be reasonably easy to get hold of (try a motor factors or failing that Halfords (the expensive option)). Another alternative is to remove the plastic tray under the engine.
