Quick front ashtray question.....

My front centre ashtray wont stay in/shut.....I have searched the threads and there seems to be some debate as to the parts required.....ranging from around £12 to around £100 Shocked ....does anyone have a definitive answer,or has had it done recently please ?

Yes, get the whole lot from TLO, I'm sure I only paid about £11, it was certainly nothing like £100

I think I am right in saying that where once you could buy the whole unit for a pittance now you have to purchase all of the components for a fortune TLO will have the info - do a search there are threads on this.

The complete assembly used to cost £12 or so

Land Rover recently changed it, and now the whole assy costs best part of £120 IIRC...

I am sure the non-smokers pack is still nice and cheap, if you dont need an ashtray Thumbs Up
