Do you mean the actual glove box, or the centre section to get at the pollen filter....?

I did my pollen filter on my previous van, I cant remember the passenger glove box fixing but I would imagine it's a similar Torx screw arrangement....?

Its the glove box on the passenger side.
I think mine may be a later model (2015) than those shown in those examples.
I'm lead to believe that the Cobra control box might lay behind the glove box. I need to get the serial number of it, in order to obtain some technical info from Vodaphone/Cobra.
If its not there, then I need to search for it.
Thanks for your input anyway, much appreciated

AFAIK the design of the glove box fixings didn't change when the X250 changed to the X290, although some now have the cupholder arrangement in the centre. I assume yours is the X290 .......
But no, I didn't have to actually remove the left hand glovebox....

Yes, I believe mine is the 290, and it does have the twin cup holders in the centre.
I'm now not so sure that the control box is behind the glove box, as I had a feel around there, and a look with a mirror and a torch.
The internal sensor override button is on the dash, and of course it must be wired to the control box, but I can't see behind there without taking most of the dash panelling out, which I really don't want to do.
Although bought from Marquis, the van was originally sold by Lowdams, but even though they do the own alarm installations, they "apparently" don't keep records, and were not prepared to offer any help.
Marquis use outside contractors for alarm installations, so are not a lot of help in this case.
