What is, Aux console - 2 din horizontal, in options list?

Postby Damien89 » Tue Aug 26, 2014 8:11 pm

I'm reading the options list on the price list on the ford website and one option is listed as " Aux console - 2 din horizontal", what is that option? Anyone maybe can shed some light as to what it is or where its fitted in the van?

Thanks

It's for fitting tachographs or taxi meters etc.
Not sure where it fits, on the Mk 7 it was on top of the dash

Just seen on a US spec version it is fitted in the overhead shelf.

(Nosing around ebay looking at the V6 autos :| that we don't get)

Do you think your average uk dealer could cope with a V6 engine let alone an auto gearbox :shock: Best they stick to the 2.2 :wink:

Managed very well with the range of Grannies that they were fitted to. So why not?

i had a mk2 3.0 V6 and the dealer at the time managed that ok (they have since gone :( ) but i wouldnt have much faith in the main dealers ive visited in the past couple of years maybe im alone in these thoughts and just been extremely unlucky ?

Let`s see what happens when these "dirty diesels" are replaced with a nice new compliant petrol engine. :)

Well they are dirty once you remove the egr/dpf/adblue stuff. Have you ever seen one work without them?
