Help please with centre console

Hi. I hope somebody out there's done this and can help.

My Freelander one's got the early low level centre console between the front seats. The bit that covers the handbrake lever and has the rear seat cigarette lighter socket and astray on the back.

I fancy fitting the later type that's much higher, has switches on the front and a cubby hole covered by a hinged lid with a rubber tray. You can also buy a padded arm rest cushion to fit on the top of this.

Is it just a straight replacement using the existing fittings? Is it a simle out 'n' in apart from the wiring for the switches?

I've asked the local main dealer but they can't answer the question with any certainty. Any advice is welcome.

Yes it will be a direct replacement, I have the earlier console in my 1998 Freelander and the fittings are the same, the new one just sits higher.

pity you.re not more local... i've got one sitting in my shed you could've had ....

Hello mate

I think you've got me slightly wrong. I'm looking for a bigger centre console too. I havn't found one yet.

Regards

Thanks. That's very kind. This is one of the problems with living in the frozen northern wastelands.

Is it the 'greyish beigeish' version? If it is and I can't find one in the next couple of weeks I'll give you a shout if that's OK.

I can arrange a courier to collect it.

Thanks once again

the one i've got is black, i only bought it cos it had the rear power socket/ashtray so that is now sitting in mine it was pretty dusty when i got it and will be even more dusty now as its been sitting in my garage but if anyone wants it drop me a pm with first dibs to newcyboots.....

Marky,

Ive PM'd you mate.
