Ash Tray Popper Outer rer
Probably the least technical question ever posted in this section but.......my front ashtray suddenly won't stay in and pops back out immediately. Nothing seems to have fallen off.
What is it that usually holds it in?Badda bing.......How you doin'?

Sounds like something might have fallen down the back of it. Can you take it out altogether and have a look?A happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.

had mine replaced by Yeovil for exactly this - they did initially try to repair but couldn't fix it. Replaced under warranty (but not expensive i think)

Got a part number I can have please? might be cheaper to get it from my local dealer as there won't be any delivery charge.
