Hi there
I opened my front ashtray today and now it wont go back in? Cant feel anything stopping it so I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and managed to fix it. Please help me because its one of those things that gets really annoying(especially since I dont even smoke!!!)

Hello there,

Ive tried gently pushing it in, pushing it in with a little force, and even hitting it as hard as i can, and Still no success! Im gonna take the stereo out and see if I can get to the workings from behind there. At the minute Ive got it wedged shut with a car wash token!!!

The Ashtray has a removable insert for emptying purposes,make sure it is firmly pushed into place.

Tried that. Its even coming out when I totally remove the insert. Seems like a problem noone has really had so I'll just have to take the stereo out and go from there. Will let you know when its sorted so noone else gets stuck

Dazza I do not think you can get at it even with the radio out. I seem to remeber someone posting on here about removng the ashtray and the whole of the front of the dash has to come off to get at it,
If I am wrong I am sure someone will put me right
have GOOD read of this it mentions the ashtray removal; somewhere
