L322 Passenger Cup Holder

Hi all,

So I'll be bombarding you with questions for a while as I get all the small bits sorted on the L322.

As with all the vehicles I looked at before settling with the one I recently purchased, all of them had the broken passenger cup holder, seems a common fault.

So I thought, that'll be an easy one to start with! So I managed to remove it and have unjammed it, but it still doesn't have the power to fully releasee it on its own. As they are a sealed unit, there's nothing really that can be done with them.

I sae them on eBay for £60 but not paying that for one as it's just not worth that much to me, just wondered if anyone has managed to repair one and what exactly in it causes it to not have the oomph to release it?

Currently have it in bits and it looks like it is the gold spiral thing that makes it push open, but I can't imagine you can get a replacement for that.

Have cleaned it, lubed it up and its a bit free-er, but still can't open itself.

Anyone done anything with that?

Thanks.

I 3d printed a little knob and stuck it on as a temporary solution about 2 years ago
