    The ash tray lid in my 456 was open, stayed open and stared at me. Inspired by Ratarossa's suggestion of using a trash can lid I sourced the relevant part which I found here: https://www.brabantia.com/uk/catch-for-lid-unit-black/
    For GBP 3,15 you will receive a catch and extraction tool. It's a straight swap, 5 minutes work. The tool is no use but the catch can be pried out with a small screw driver and the new catch clicked in.

    This is great !! Looks like an easy solution for a common problem. I have ordered the part but looking into the space under the ash tray I see the catch but nothing it engages with - can you clarify - Thanks

    The lip that engages with the catch is part of the lid, you can't see it when the lid is open. But rest assured it's still there.
    The catch can be pried out with a small flat screwdriver on both sides once a few millimetres out, you can pull it out with long thin pliers.

    Thanks - I don't see anything on the lid - is it on the underside? Appreciate your advice and will follow when I receive the part

    Please post some pics of how this can work, my customers have this issue often, but not sure how the piece you posted can work on a 456 lid.
