    Defender Cup Holders

    Has anyone with a late model Defender fitted one of the slip-on plastic cupholder/trinket trays advertised on British 4WD's website (http://www.british4wd.com/)?

    I would be keen to see photos - seems like a simple idea but I would like to view the finished, installed item. Otherwise, has anybody got any other intelligent, cost-effective solutions since Landrover really don't want Defender drivers to drink and drive.

    someone once said of the p38 rangies lack of cup holders "If one can afford a range rover, one can stop off for a cup of tea"

    Not relevant but thought I'd share it

    The best impromptu cupholder I've seen was a roll of packing tape taped down onto the dashboard

    Yep had mine for a while. Finishes the gear box hump off nicely. Even put drinks in it once.

    Note the Rangie handbrake.

    the defender has two cup holders.......which can hold a bottle of wine.....
    forget the cups......just bring straws.....

    you dont have the standard drink holders in yours....?
    or do you normally have more than two drinks at a time.....?

    AND,
    Don't forget the Ice Box, located conveniently behind the 2 cup holders.

    Looks OK - maybe not quite as snug around the gear lever boot as I hoped. I note from the blurb that it just sits on there with no fixings. Do you find it stays put or does it move about a bit. Any rattles or vibrations?

    Its actually very snug, does not move or rattle. I think its helps dampen the gearbox whine also. "Bonus".

    $88 worth of convenience and $1 worth of plastic.

    They're $80 locally (5min up the road). A mate with a 200Tdi Defender bought one. His Defender was missing some of the insulation around the transmission tunnel. He made up some insulation & had to apply a heat gun to the cup holder to get it to fit. Once in it looks good, is sturdy and handy.

    It just seems sooooo expensive.
