Hi all
Tonight the off side dipped beam started flickering and the dipped warning bulb out . Switched the car off and back on again and alls well . I take it that it could be on it's way out .
This is the bulb I have .
Any recommendations please .

Yes it is on the way out. Flickering is the first symptom. Just replace with the same bulb (preferably the pair). Keep the other old bulb as a spare for emergencies.

www.powerbulbs.com - good for branded lamps at keen prices and recommended frequently on this site.

Also based in Wakefield by chance....

I’d also check out Amazon warehouse as I have found branded ones in damaged boxes for £25 in the past. Definitely get the branded ones.
