I have an EL and have seen one for an EF. My Question is what is the difference? the buttons for the clock on the EL are the same colour as the plastic around, and with the EF if i am correct the buttons were a dark grey in colour. Does anybody know Back to top fairmont1998 Fordmods - Getting Side Ways Age:34 Posts: 695 Joined: 05 Nov 2004 Location: Adelaide. SA, Australia View User Gallery (7) Posted: Mon Dec 13, 2004 4:27 pm    Post subject: EF ones had black buttons.

I rang coventry's once after a trip computer, and they told me the EF ones were no longer available and the EL wouldn't work in my EF. And they wanted $270 for it!!!
