Just a quick query. The ashtray on my facelift will not close.
Has anyone else had this problem and solved it?
Also, I'd like to know how to remove it completely. My Haynes manual is for a prefacelift and doesn't cover my car.
Thanks.

Remove "ash" tray part (small lever to right) look at the rear and undo the screw in the centre.
Not closing is either something jammed, spring on catch mech come adrift, or catch mech busted.
If it`s busted I`ve got 3 here lying around

That was helpful, cheers guvnor.
A little job for this week, methinks.

And it's job done 
There was a small piece of plastic broken off from somewhere - possibly the flap where the cd cartridge inserts, because I've noticed that's a bit floppy on one side. The piece of plastic was obviously preventing the ashtray from closing. All good now. Looks so much better.
