Hi

Lets face it, it would be the first time the LR website has miss informed its customers.

What leads you to believe there are 3 in the back, RRUK?

Because it says so on the Landrover website under the standard features, exact words are:

3 Cup Holders Middle Row

Conclusive evidence.....

If you open the center arm rest lid (in the front row), and fold it all the way open, it now extendeds into the rear area. In my last LR, a 04 RR, it had an indentation on the bottom of the lid, which could loosely be construed to be a cup holder.

I just went down to my parking garage and took this picture:

It's not a real cup holder, but if you had one of those cups with a wide, non-skid base, it'd work pretty well. I give this new "tray" a good jiggle, and it's quite sturdy. I guess I can leave the rubber lid on my cooler and still use it also.

It does cut down on the legroom for that 3rd rear passenger though....

Just a quick note re posting your pic - this is the web address you have posted in [img][/img] - hence no pic. You need to right click on your pic go to properties - copy the address then past into [img] paste here [/img] the address looks like this http://i.pbase.com/g4/03/103103/3/52092669.DSC00811.jpg

Ps.

This is no good for those of us that have the PTI fitted as it is located in this spot.

Not to mention that the 3rd holder might be needed when you had a 3rd person in the second row (I know, I know, the second row is tighter than the RR so you probably wouldn't stuff 3 people back there). If so, doing what the picture suggests puts the console lid in the middle person's crotch.

First off, thank you Martin for the picture re-post...I'm new at this forum posting thing.

As for the 3rd row cup holder; yeah, it's pretty useless, both for those with the phone cradle and for those in the 3rd row with the room it takes up. I was simply pointing out this this must be what LR is referring to in their specs. If this isn't what they were thinking of, then why does it fold all the way down to the rear like it does? It's actually quite a pain when you flip it open to get something while driving, and let go above 90 degrees open, and it falls back (try reaching back to close it while driving...). It is, however, at a more convenient height than the slidey cup holders down by the floor, if you've got just one or two passengers in the back.

Personally, I miss the two-way center arm rest from the RR; pull button up to open the whole lid, push down to open just the top tray. I have the cooler in my RRS SC; what am I supposed to do with that rubber tray while I'm rummaging around for gum in my cooler box (no, I don't chill my chewing gum) AND driving? I've taken to just taking the rubber tray out altogether, but now where do I put little things (speedpass, coins, etc.)?

I agree, not having that thin opening cubby on top of the main one is a backward step, that was where I kept my phone and paper and a pen in the L322 RR I had before the Sport. Also on the big RR if you folded the centre arm rest down and pulled out the headrestaint there was a set of cup holders in there too! I wonder if the box from the RR can be made to fit a Sport without the fridgebox? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

This would be a great project; but how to get the lid.

another alternative would be to affix the rubber tray some how, but of course this would make it useless for holding anything.

I've just taken to putting small things either on the shelf above glove box or in my door cubby....not ideal.

I also had to put some folded paper towels in the cooler so that the stuff in there didn't rattle too much. Occasionally I hit the cooler switch and the sunglasses instantly fog up when I put them on!
