Thanks Artz, I found the glovebox light globe removal tool on ebay, $59.95 BARGAIN!
I actually managed to get it done without removing the engine, just put it on jack stands, took all four wheels off and rocked the car back and forth for a while. The globe fell out on its own! Just a word of warning, you obviously don't want to rock the car too hard or it may fall off the jack stands.
Seriously though........I mucked around for about 10 mins and figured it all out, almost everything on these cars is simply clipped into place so it's all pretty easy. Not sure where I read that half of the dash needed to come out but its all done now and back together.
