LOL. But now the 4x4, fog and defrost switches are on the wrong side. :p

I like that center console. shifter, brake and its still got cup holders

I've got my 700R4 shifter in the center console and had to get rid of my cup holders.

Do you have rear air? Looks like it dips to low to have a duct in it.

I also like the mono-tone paint and your rims.

No air con in the rear here in the UK (probably because its too cold and wet most of the time

)we do get the rear audio controls for the kids to play with though

**Howard** · 11-16-2004, 04:59 AM

There is a duct running under the console but it is small and does not have a fan. It leads to the floor only via two small vents at the bottom/rear of the console.

My sincere thanks
Battling with Ford at the moment was sent a Ford notice from America on a TSB number 01M01 which says 7 year extension or 100,000 mile waranty on timing chains sprokets etc, Spent Â£15 on Fords techinical line Â£1 a minuite getting that TSB number converted to Uk Ford coding which was 1W750
Ford main agent just rang to say 01MO1 OR 1W750 operative in USA but cancelled in England in 2004 after just 3 years instead of seven so hard luck

looks like a cool truck.. its so wierd to see the console like that... and you took the pick from the left side of the truck... so it looks odd... but its cool once realized thats your passenger side..... and those look like the limited wheels we have here....

Does the lacquer peel off of them over there ? mine are in poor condition due to this

Monty Beast · 02-11-2005, 07:24 AM

Hey Dude - you got my truck!!!!
I have a 2000 North Face in green - looks just the same as yours! I just got it 2 weeks ago. I'm booked in get the LPG conversion done in a few weeks.
I'm certainly doscovering that support for X's in old blighty is a bit thin on the ground. The guy who's going to convert it seems to have a fair knowledge of them, but I think I may need the cam chain sorting out.
Any tips on who is good with this in the UK?

EXPLORERLPG · 04-08-2005, 02:09 PM

Just to let you know that there are other Explorers out there with LPG, mine being one of them
Have got a superb sequential instalation from OMVL (omvl@fesautogas.co.uk)
Looks almost as if it was factory fitted when car was built, (and I have seen some real dogs of installations by so-called reputable converters)
Having an ongoing problem with flashing o/d light which seems to be an all too common problem judging by the number of posts related to it and the transmission TCC and related valve body
Hopefully will get it sorted soon and continue to enjoy this great 4x4

*BBQ_HotDogs* · 04-08-2005, 03:37 PM

I know gas prices are killing ya. The only advantage is that a gallong is more there, 5 qts instead of 4

96limitedX · 04-08-2005, 03:55 PM

could you get a pic of the center caps on your wheels? they are limited center caps..but with what looks like a ford emblem on them.

nice truck BTW

snoborder42 · 04-09-2005, 02:20 AM

This may sound like a dumb question. Well since i have never been to the UK or any other European country. I have always wondered how the pedals are situated. I am just curious to learn if they are the same or if they are backwards.

**Howard** · 04-09-2005, 05:05 AM

Our pedals are the same way around as yours, Throttle on the right.
