I think Halfords sell them... look for golf mk4 parts I think

The Autoleads part number for the Leon/Toledo facia plate is FP-18-00.

Hope that helps!

Cheers, got that ordered from local supplier as half the price of halfords

How on earth do you get cd changer out of the glovebox??

Have read guide on www.leoncupra.co.uk but cant seem to put the words into actions

Cheers

If it`s the same as my `02 LC, the trim on the front of the changer, slightly darker than the rest of the moulded glovebox will just pull off with a little bit of persuasion. Then there are 2 screws that need to be unscrewed from the fixing brackets and then voila, hole in the glovebox!!!

sounds so easy when ya put it like that, rite i off with a screw driver

Yeah, its pretty straight foreward once you've got the fascia out.

I think its one screw either side holding the changer in place, be careful not to pull it out too hard though, or you might damage the wiring.

then just fit the insert back in its place and you have a useable (if a little small) glovebox space.

There wasn`t any insert for me to put back in

I`ve had a hole in the glove box since christmas. Must order the insert from my dealer!! (about £15 I think), and put the new changer in.

If I remember rightly, the insert was less than a tenner from my local dealer.

Just need to get my butt into gear and get it all sorted.

 

[montana83]

Yep all done, gonna go down dealer and get the insert to so can have two small cubby holes instead of one
