OK peeps, a screw fell out of the hinge on my glovebox and it won't bite back in, I take it something has fallen off inside? How difficult is it to take out the panel and front tray please?

Depends how big you are Andy 
It's a tight squeeze between seat and box otherwise it's straightforward.
Extract from another procedure
Stage 1. – Glove Box removal
On my car there are 6 Philips screws holding the box and surround panel in position and you will need to prise the rubber covering caps off to access these. The screws are situated as follows:
No.1- Top left corner – accessed from door jamb - short handled driver or ratchet required, Nos. 2&3 are inside box either side of lock, No4 is in the top right corner and Nos 5&6 at lower right where glove box panel is joined to centre console.
Note: for re-assembly screws 1 and 4 are longer than the other four.
In addition, there is an in-fill panel on the lower edge of the box. To remove this panel, firstly undo and remove the two plastic `push and turn’ plugs, then unclip the panel.
Once all disconnected, gently pull the top left hand side of the box panel forward and then un-hook the right hand lower corner from behind the centre console panel. HTH
