Title: Glove box removal
Post by: Keith ABS on 01 January 2013, 12:16:15
  Before i start searching trough the maintenance guides, is there one for removing the glove box lid? I need to replace the handle as mine broke off. Got a new one from VX and have switched the barrel already but cant see all the fixings to get inside/lid off for replacing it. thanks all.

A very easy job to do following the guide, but I'm always amazed at how many screws there are in there!  :o
