Yeah I might have to replace them with the standard ones, I’ll see how I fare with these…

Stay tuned for the next update of putting the normal ones back on 😄

Finally managed to book some ramp time on Tuesday for a service and a proper inspection.

I can't take any credit for the latest mod, the idea has been stolen from our very own Cam Tech Craig but as he's away in Italy thrashing the new Ferrari I thought I'd do it before he returns...

Can't understand why they didn't do this anyway... has anyone ever said "I have enough cup holders....!!!"

This is not plug and play, the cover and the inner dash need modification...

Track down a 2005-2012 LHD left dash end with the light switch hole...

I found a wood finish one for less than £25 delivered from the States... piano black ones were a silly price...

Drop it off at your local spray shop and £20 later it's looking good...

Take off the old one, then work out and mark up a section that needs to be cut off to miss the glove box, also cut a section out of the dash, nothing essential just some plastic webbing...

Cut off pieces...




Then fit the new cup holder, I got this one on eBay as NOS, it was £100 they retail from the dealer at around £140...

Then refit the trim and buy yourself a drink...

Much better... Thumbs Up

A lot cheaper if you can find a nice condition early cup holder but they do tend to wear out quick...


Hi, Hayland,

Do you know if this mod can work for North American LHD vehicles?

England 2014 Range Rover Autobiography SDV8 Loire Blue

I don't see why not, just get the panel for a RHD and modify it, you can try without any modification to the car so you will find out if it works before you go "too" far.... Just buy the panel and see if it fits before spending big bucks on the cupholder itself... Thumbs Up Pete

Time for an update, had the Fatty serviced and checked out just before going on holiday.

All good apart from a small leak from the PS pump…

* All filters replaced with Genuine LR parts
* Oil change
* Plugs looked to be great condition so not replaced
* Wipers replaced with Bosch 808

I might be looking at adding a CarPlay screen to replace the top centre dash vent (as someone else has done)

Can’t justify ~ £600 for the UAD solution as that’s the only one that seems to work properly without blurry screens etc

Should be completely reversible
