Default V70 Glovebox lock repair kits?

The glovebox catch has stopped working on my 1999 V70, luckily when it was open.
I have removed it and the main moulding has cracked into several parts.
Does anyone sell repair kits or replacement mechanisms for the V70?

I can find them for the 850 but that is a different design.

Thanks
Joe

Might be cheaper and easier to get a 'new' one from a breaker. Can only see 850 parts, like you said, which are more in cost to what a breaker would charge for the part.

I looked last night on ebay and the cheapest was £20 (with no key, according to the seller - not sure yet if I can switch the lock barrel over though).
That seemed a lot for an equally old part that may also be about to break, hence thinking it would be better to get a repair kit.
But if there is no such thing....

Cheers

Try Minty or pages like Facebook - generally much cheaper than eBay breakers.

Minty's contact number is +447841056796.
