Hi there. Looking to buy a first car very soon. There are plenty of threads around the internet dealing with this, but my requirements are a bit more specific.

Would anyone know how to remove and replace the glove box lid on a Peugeot 307 CC. The lock jammed and the handle snapped when trying to open. (A common fault with this model apparently) Read more

All awesome advice as usual from the chaps on here.

Don't be intimidated either; a car is a big investment and you are entitled to give it a full examination. If it's pants, walk away....
