How to remove the Front Ashtray (complete unit)
21. Jan 2011 at 13:01

Hi Folks,

I have an Omega B (2001) and need to remove the complete ashtray from the dash, as I think something has slipped behind it as it is not closing properly.
Before I start, can anyone give me any pointers as to how to do it? I am sure it is very simple, but I can't see anything obvious, and I don't want to start pulling and leavering it, as in my experience this will lead to me breaking it before then working out how I should have done it!

Thanks in advance

Dom

Remember their is a electrical plug th the cigarette lighter. so dont pull it out to hard.

The mechanisms break if treated too roughly, easily replaced though if you can find one 2nd hand that isn't already broken. Is yours pre/mini facelift or facelift?

Facelift. Does that mean it's not repairable and replacement only?

Sorry for slight thread hi-jack.
