    Afternoon all.....
    What lovely sunny weather Glasgow’s having.....!!! Am so glad to be off on holiday tomorrow .....
    One annoyance is that my glove-box will not open have tried to force it but ended up breaking a wooden spoon .....
    So how do I go about gaining access, what parts do I need to dismantle and what tools are needed, or is it best just left to the professionals.....all help welcome, bar suggestions of trying a metal spoon next time ......
    All the best, see you again on a run one day
    Matthew.

    only thing i've seen about this is that you need to get it open first to fix the latch i.e. break in

    we have done a few of these for the R50/R53 lately.

    we order a new glovebox and lock, so i would speak to the dealer and find out what is involved with pricing and information etc.
