I bought one from Paddocks http://www.paddockspares.com/pp/DEF...nteriors/Black_Vinyl_Cubby_Box_inc._tray.html
it might be a Britpart one but it seems fine so far.

If you don't need a lockable one then the standard one mentioned above is fine.

There are many different options hence the difference in prices.
Personally I wanted a standard looking one (ie. lid fabric to match the seats) but it had to be secure so I went for an Exmoor Trim lockable one, it is very well made and very slightly larger than the OE one it replaced but being made of steel (i.e. thinner walls than the wooden one) has a useful increase in capacity.
Some people use the cubby-box to mount stereo, CB, switches etc and choose one to match but if you don't need these options don't waste your money.

Ive got a exmoor one and seems ok so far, the hinges and lid prop look a bit cheap but the rest seem good

i also have an exmoor trim box as it matches the seats from them i have fitted.

Tis nice good strong lock. looks well made.

would agree that the hinges are a bit dodgey

Mine came with the britpart one already fitted, wouldnt be my first choice but as its already there, its amazing the amount of crap you can fit in there!

What he said ^^^^^^. You can also make em so that you can still leave the centre seat in place anorl.

That was what I had planned to do at first, but it meant having to put the hinges on the passenger side of the box or it would not open far enough or by making it small enough to open like a normal cubby box it would have been to short to be of any use.

I've made mine wider then a normal cubby box to make up for the lack of depth

How tight is it on the seat belt buckle though ?
I got ****ed off tryng to make it work and gave up in the end. I decided landrover got it right first time :doh:

Solid steel bolted through the floor.

Well chuffed.
