The front sphere valves are easily accessible after removing the plastic bulkhead liner, which you have to do anyway to access the hydrags valves for resetting the ride height. However, providing the membrane is in good order the gas should remain for at least 10 years so it's not something you'll be doing very often.
A set of four spheres are re-gassed by Ian Kennedy for £350 including return postage and are usually turned round in 24hrs. That price was applicable even to European postage.

Re: MGF Trophy Hydragas Spheres Repaired - Brilliant!
Please note the price of £350 for a set re-gassed, is if you supply the spheres and they are tested to be fine.
Dawn/Ian do have some standard spheres in stock for purchase/re-gas, but hardly any Trophy ones.
Unfortunately they are not many spare Trophy version rear spheres available in good condition.

Re: MGF Trophy Hydragas Spheres Repaired - Brilliant!
Slightly O/T here, but I've been wondering how they manufactured the spheres in the first place. Does anyone have a link to any info about that?

These are for you Chris.
I will have one more Trophy set re-gassed after MGlive, in June. This will be the last of three sets i had, so be quick.
Please email weedonpo@aol.com.
