this guide is still under construction, piccies will be added when i remember to take them

basically use an allen key from an old flatpack furniture kit to open the glovebox by doing the same job that the handle normally does ie push the glovebox latch down to release the glovebox.

to do this you simply pull hard enough on the handle to fully break it off ( only do this if your definitely replacing the handle - you can sometimes fix the handle again - there is a rather well put together how-to somewhere on here somewhere :L )

then when the handle is fully out you can then ferret around in the gap @ the passenger side ( UK models ) & towards the back of the opening around half way down the opening you should be able to hook in the allen key or similar & pull down towards the floor which should release the glovebox.

if your going for a attempt @ fixing it yourself if you find the guide ( raynkar i think did it but i could be wrong ) then you may still be able to use the above method but without breaking the handle off 1st ( will probably involve plenty of foul language being uttered mind but could save you some pennies in the end )
