Does anyone know what these are?!

Post by buli »

Hi guys. I'd be grateful if anyone might know what these are. All fittings on the dashboard:

Hope someone might be able to shed some light on what they are.
Thanks in advance and have a good one.

i had one on my first van, its the continental style 12v power socket. you can buy adaptors to go between the socket and the 12v plugs on accesories.

An accessory socket more commonly used in Europe that can easily be converted to the much more useful type we use in the UK...fit something like this (will only require slight enlargement of the hole to fit)
