Just bought one of those armrests advertised on ebay, that are made in Italy.I just went for the basic imitation leather version and it looks very good.Fits in seconds and looks like Land Rover made it!Suits my auto gearbox model perfectly.Cost £70 including delivery so I think that is good value. Stornaway grey SE auto with 18" alloys

I fancied one but the group financial controller said "no way she needs new shoes first". Then she put a packet of wet wipes in the cubby the armrest would cover .. nice. (esp when the packet says 'Preparation H' on it,a freebie from her work)

The current Mrs H loves the car but hates the standard armrest - reckons it gets in the way when it doesn't fold all the way back. Surely the big ones on ebay get in the way even more? 08 Santorini Black HSE manual with DAB and privacy glass

Don't think that the aftermarket armrest is as high or long as the Land Rover one.My car is auto and it's perfect with the new armrest. Stornaway grey SE auto with 18" alloys

Let me in on this, where do I get these armrests and do they fit into the bolt hole I can feel through the leather? It was her indoors one dissapointment that they wern't fitted on our SE but were on all the HSE's we drove as demos. 2009 Grey HSE Auto

I can vouch that the armrest makes a great elbow rest while hungover and trying to sleep as your wife drives you along the A1  At work

I was told by the Stealer that yu couldn't fit an armrest to a SE as it needed a whole new seat with an armrest already fitted... reading this it obvious;y isn't the case.
