P38A Centre console cup holder

Wayne M · Aug 1, 2016

Hi all, after a few weeks tinkering on the new p38 I decided to change the gas strut on the centre console cup holder. Bought a new Oem one off fleabay for about £17. Took the old one off. After i fitted the bew one (i used a small screw where the rivet was). Its still limper than a 90 year old. Has anyone else changed one or got any tips? The catch releases it but it just sits there until you pull it up 75% of the way, which kinda defeats the point.

Many thanks in advance

I got mine from Island4x4. Worked perfectly. http://www.island-4x4.co.uk/centre-console-cubby-strut-btr6776-p-2155.html

I used my core drill on the dash board and now have 2 spot on holes to hold my brew in the morning.....

I may return mine and get one from there as it doesn't seem to be working. And yours is half the price

Why not it will be in the scrap yard in a few years anyway

It would have to be a bloody big mug to fit if i used my core drill

Get a smaller core drill.

I thought forum rules stated "photos or it didn't happen" ?
