Hi, I can't seem to see if this is on here but our 54 plate L322 Range Rover's dash cup holder jams. I've got it out and have given it a few squirts of lube but it's still sticking.

Does anyone know how I can take it apart?

Thanks all

this one?

Hi Stan

No not that one, (that one will be asked in another question! )

I mean the one that's by the passenger's left knee (probably the cause of it jamming in the first place!

I did a little write up here about if it's stuck in... may help a bit....

Stan, I thought this was in the WIKI but it's not.... Pete

I fixed mine, by adding a small black knob from b&q. As my spring was broken.
They are about £100 new, so worth considering a compromise. And I can use it!

Hi and thanks for the replies

I got the cup holder out, easy enough but it keeps jamming (I've also got the little spigot thingy out too, but still it jams) all I want to know is can the cup holder assembly be disassembled? I could then clean and grease up all the components and hopefully replace it as good as....

Pretty sure you won't manage that... to get it apart, if you have the little wheel out, just pull the cupholder bit straight out of the surround, it's got a little edge on a piece of the internal plastic that you have to pull it past... I expect it is worn somewhere and sticking as it's not moving as it was designed to, I plastered mine in lubricant first but then took it apart and cleaned it all off again as it actually ran better without lube.... suppose they could wear differently though...

Have a good look first to see how the spring is wound and how it's fixed....  Pete

Thanks for your help Martin. I'll give it a go. Apparently with age the plastic can warp a little which doesn't help and also if it's left in the "out" position then it can be knocked when the passenger gets in or out of the car and therein is probably the root of the issue.

I've done (or so I think) what you've said. But there's a loud "clunk" when it reaches the end. It stops dead and no more.

Is there a write-up on how to take the holder apart?

Well I can't guarantee it will work for yours, but I pulled mine past that (It took some force) and the inner bit came out of the outer bit... As far as JLR are concerned it is a non serviceable item so there are no instructions on taking it apart, you just have to work it out for yourself...

Cheers Stan....  Pete

The gear at the top can be popped out of place, then the whole inner assembly can come out. However, I agree with Pete - lubrication doesn't help at all. I tried silicone spray and even some LM grease in spots, but that's not the issue. Mine anyway sticks at the end of its travel (i.e. fully in) because the spring is weak. Give it a little help and it pops out.

I have to take mine out at the weekend so I'll take some pics.

Johns spring was broken so it didn't come out, he fitted a knob to the front so you just pull it out when you want to use it...  Pete

That's outside the box thinking or outside the cup holder.

Mine is similar but the front plate also pulls off.

It's on the list to get sorted.
