200 TDI dash

has anyone on here cut a hole in the dash on 200TDI at the top in the middle in-between the vents the ashtrays are so small i want to fit one that originally was in the centre console on a RRC about 4"x2"x2.5" deep am i only person who finds the originals too small

use the ones in the doors

we do but they is so small an awkward

Chuck it oot the window

int tha wa the centre console is fur?

Ah use the floor mesel'

me other idea was that when the new ashtray was shut i could stick me satnav on the lid to avoid the circle on the windscreen and getting glass smashed

Thas proper posh that it. made of Carbun Fibre as well. I reckon it's so's he knows that the road really is rough, and it's not just his hangover making him roll all over the place.

if someone can tell me if there is no wires or pipes there i could do it without makin amess of the dash but i dont want to cut through the main looms

Aye, yer no far wrong Red

Yur heater box is under there

i think you might struggle to fit a rangerover classic ashtray in there. there is a steel plate behind parts of the 200 dash, i dont think there are any wires directly behind it but just be careful when you are making the hole. what are you thinking of using to cut it out??
