MGZT Glove Box hinges

Dear All
I seem to be chasing lots of things on my car at the moment. The hinge on my glovebox seems to have fallen apart with one side holding it on. Can you get replacement parts or is it a complete unit? Any advice will be welcome!
Best wishes to all,
Bob

Bob, I had the 'same' situation with my ZT- but all was not as it appeared, the glove box hinge system allows the glove box lid to be lowered further by pressing the hinges inwards, this sometimes is done and gives the impression tone side is broken, look carefully to see this has happened- I think there is some mention of this facility it the ZT handbook.

Got the same issue, the hinge pin has dropped out of the RH side hinge assembly. Not fixed it yet but it's a poor push-fit design that's got a bit loose over time - and the pin has now disappeared! If you've the same issue (and the pin) just push it back into position and use a little Loctite to secure it.
