Hi All, I've recently got a 2003 V70R. It's got a broken lid to the centre console cupholder and I've put a request up on the Wanted bit of the forum. I thought I'd sorted it with one from Skandix, but (naturally) it was LHD when it arrived, and I need RHD. Nothing on eBay at the moment. Posted here as well in case anyone spots it here rather than there. Thanks.
It's common for them to break, especially if your a fat ****! They're not built for holding the strength of your left elbow. I replaced mine when I first got my R about 8 years ago. If you want my advice, then buy a new one from Volvo. They cost about £70 and comes as a complete unit (two cup holders plus the lid attached). You'll have to remove most of the center console to replace, so buying a second hand one is not always best as you don't wanna have to do it again. All plastic fatigues with age.

Thanks Lee, but I think these are all for LHD cars. All the US sites seem to be for LHD (unsurprisingly I suppose), as are all the European ones I've found. Looks like I'll have to go to a dealer :grumpy:
