    Is it possible to remove the glove box without removing the whole dash. Reason I ask is that the air con condensation drain keeps blocking so that the tank fills up and overflows onto the CPU causing it to go balistic causing all sorts of issues with rich running and eventual non proceeding of the car.
    Blowing back through the drain clears it for a while but I think I need to dismantle the catch tank to clear it.

    Open the glove box, remove ALL the screws you can see(and the lock catch at the top of the opening). This will allow you to pull the glove box lid open further, and if necessary, remove it all together.

    I actually remove mine by undoing the two 10mm nuts on the hinges underneath and the screw holding the dampner on the right side of the glovebox. Then lift the right side of the box up, left side down and out it comes.

    Thanks guys. I hope I can clear the junk out of the condensor tank this way.

    I actually had my head in there on the weekend and you can clearly see the drain hose and were it comes from so you should not have any problems.

    If you wana remove the whole thing thought (for future searched or maybe yourself).

    All the screws you can see that you remove (there is allot) it will detatch like a black framing that uncoveres some of the other trims screws.

    Its all fairly easy, just remeber whre screws go and the order in witch they go in.
