Centre arm rest upgrade

Recommended Posts

Hi all

just taken delivery of an 03 x type, pics to follow when this amazing summer weather breaks!!! In good nick with low, 37000, miles on the clock. Couple of little niggles but garage are sorting when parts arrive. Drivers door has a lazy latch, sometimes unlocks on fob sometimes not and external temp sensor has mind of its own. I know it's summer but it was reading 45 degrees C today!!!!!

Anyway to the title of topic. Looking to upgrade the armrest, I have a single lid on centre box but have seen the double sliding ones. Looking at one available but it's from an 09 plate. My question is will this fit straight in or was the design revised on this part when facelifted? 

Thanks in advance

So have purchased double sliding cubby box lid from eBay. Really helpful bloke in Liverpool who breaks Jags, phoned him and they all same through model years just a case of unscrewing old one and replacing. Arrived today perfect condition great price will be fitted tomorrow. Pics to follow.

For information I used jag parts Europe on eBayparts@jagpartseurope.com 07484070632 if anybody needs anything

Hi Colin,

Welcome to the Forum.  An 03 with only 37k sounds a bit of a steal, do hope you're happy with it and there are no major issues.  With that mileage I guess it's petrol.

Anyway, I've always wondered about replacing the static armrest with a slider so will be interested in how you get on using an item from a much older model.

And look forward to the pics.

Best, Rowley

Interesting reading! I didn't get any of that from my dealing. I phoned left a message with a question, got called back within 20 minutes and couldn't have been more helpful on phone. Made an offer on item 2 days later and was accepted and sorted within 2 hours posted and delivered within 3 days. Very well packaged and perfect condition.

So have replaced centre cubby box lid. Very easy undo two screws pictured, torx t20 bit required and then screw new lid in place. If, like me, replacing single piece lid you will also need to replace catch on console with part number C2S19709 Armrest catch high series. This I have ordered brand new from local dealer at cost of £11.17 and will fit as soon as arrives. Jobs a goodun much better arm rest now, when I can get my arm on it that is. My son does like to take over an arm rest!!!

Hi Colin,

I have used this dealer twice with a similar experience to yourse;f.

One bad experience from someone often gets a very bad report.

Regards,

Peter.

I did read the complete thread, John, in fact i read it a couple of years ago in order to check out the seller.

The buyer did have a bad experience but he did not quote what he said to the seller, which was probably the reason why he got the reply that he did.

Peter.
