miketomcat Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I recon you could make it fit but. A, It wouldn't be easy or straight forward. B, The problem is the heater matrix isn't under the bonnet it's in the dash so you either need the dash as well again not easy to fit an earlier bulkhead or you need to find a way of putting the/another matrix in a standard dash. All in all way more agro than it's worth but hey when did "we" ever do the easy thing. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 But even then, if you fit the complete dash your then left with the problem of getting the gauges to work.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 You can fit old gauges though. Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroanaconda Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 You also have to deal with the gearstick interfering with the dashboard, but I'm not sure if that's particularly difficult to overcome. The later dash offers many benefits including the vastly improved HVAC system. I considered plumping for one but decided against it as I like the previous setup far better , mainly because I find the later dash quite intrusive into the cab space.

chris2010 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 I have auto so , gear lever wouldn't get in the way, Perhaps il see if the bulkhead can be swapped from a tdci. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I've been reading up on this a little. It seems that if your a tall fella this conversion is not for you. Apparently if your over 6' your knees are always squashed up against the dash as its a lot closer to you than the old style dash. Though maybe this only applies if you have a truck cab?? If your considering this it will probably be prudent to get along your dealer and sit in one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
