Ash tray mechanism part required

[hybridbatterysolutions]

Hello everyone, I wonder if anyone can help me, I recently had the centre console wooden trim up to do my Oxygen sensors & managed to break part of the ashtray soft close mechanism, not the end of the world ! but blxxdy annoying. Do any of you have a spare you don't need? eBay no dice. This is the part attached:-

I suspect you might have to buy a complete centre console. Here's one I found on eBay:

Another option might be 3D printing, but that will probably also be expensive for a small part, and the metal pin might make it complicated.

Hi Howard, yes thanks I had seen the whole consoles on eBay but I'm loathed to pay that sort of money. I guess I might end up having too though!

3d printing is out as i haven't got anything to scan,...............rats!

So the way i see it is that the part that has broken off must, must be still there somewhere right!!!!!? It's got to be ??

I'll put me best glasses on & use my high power torch & have a 6th search round!

Thanks anyway 😉

Good luck. These things are sent to try us!

Hi Richard

It would be worth contacting the advertisers of ‘breaking’ SC430s on eBay. My ashtray was broken and I negotiated a replacement for £30 - the small part was nowhere to be found!

Make sure the ashtray is closed when replacing the console or you’ll be looking for another one very soon!

Good luck

Fear not, after much fiddling around I actually managed to find it & repair it so it now works sweet as a nut! but thankyou all kind souls for your suggestions, much appreciated.

Well done Richard! Where there is a will there is a way
