Its part of the 'rear' of the centre console, all you can do is get one without the cassette holder to replace it with.

You are both right, i undid the nut under the ash tray and this releases a section of the console but to get the tape holder out i had to squeez the side of it, there are two lugs on each side, but there is no bottom to it so now i can see the carpet underneath so there must be a tray type insert to go in it insted of the tape holder,
thanks for your help, as a small bonus the previous owner left her ricky martin tape in it, am i lucky or what!!!! :D (lol)

your best off just replacing the whole rear console, and selling the tape holder on eBay to someone in some distant 3rd world country woh still uses tapes.
