Ash tray centre console

I am not sure this actually classes as maintenance but the ash tray in the centre console of my 07 Disco will not shut.

Whenever I push it in to shut in pops open again.

I cannot see a mechanism on which it latches nor seem able to take out the ashtray to look

Can anyone help solve this VERY minor issue with is teeing me off no end

Thanks

Steve

It is removable to check for a fixable problem, but most failures require a new unit. For reasons unknown LR changed the price to put it in the unbelievable range. Unless you need it I would fix it closed - permanently. Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

I fixed it with a screw Very Happy No need for it so now it doesn't get in the way and hasn't cost me £100 to fix Laughing "Your mind is like a parachute! It will only function when open"!

The words "they are having a laugh" spring to mind

£100 to fix an ashtray !

Think I may adopt the screw solution

Thanks guys

Windswept - now that's by kind of solution
