Just realised that my glovebox is not opening, its not locked but i think the handle to open the glovebox, is not releasing the latch, is there any way of opening or fixing this problem that anyone could help me on.
Thanks

Happened to my old one. You have to pull the handle off and release it with a screwdriver. New handle insert is about a fiver, and its just a case of transferring a spring and the cylinder

Yep, just give them a call and ask them for the part number if it's not on the reverse side of the handle.
