I have a broken glovebox lock, I managed to get the box out, but it looks like someone has had several goes at it as it's held in with wires and bits, question is, there are two wires (brown,red stripe & brown) they are connected to what I think is the light holder, but the other end is live and not connected to anything? Also there is no light? Where can I get one, sorry but does anyone have the pins that hold the straps? Thanks all

Think I've sorted it, turns out the glovebox lock was broken, so someone forced it, in doing this they also broke the glove box light fitting too, i managed to find a e3o at a breakers so I'm going tommorow to see if I can salvage anything :)

Broken glove box catch is fairly common. Think it happens when there is something too big in the glovebox, and the lid is twisted as it is slammed shut.
