not sure if any experts out there. Apart from those who may offer advice such as buy a new oven.

built in double oven has a bulb out in main oven. I took off the covering to find the bulb has not actually blown but the glass part is detached from the metal, leaving the metal part stuck in the screw holder.

typically it's right in the back top corner so almost impossible to get at. I'm struggling to remove it as there is bigger all to grip and even less to actually see, anyone got any ideas how I can get the bugger out. or if not does anyone know a person who does repairs?

Turn off electric stick in screwdriver to bend base and then use needle nose pliers. Oh and use a head torch and watch the football first.

I've had something like -- pushed a wine cork onto the remains, and turned the cork...

The bulbs are easy to find once you get the fecker out. Two good shouts so far to attempt that, and yes get a torch.
