Hello all.
I am currently attempting to fix my 2006 CITROEN DISPATCH 2.0 HDi following an MOT fail.
I have to replace some brake lines that go into the ABS pump. I have read on here that it is crucial not to let the ABS pump get empty of fluid so I am interested in your opinions on the best way to go about this. I also have no idea on the bleeding sequence so if anyone knows it would be really helpful to me.
Cheers
Chris

Thanks for all of your help on my previous post in the campervan conversions section. I have now managed to get all the parts I needed.
My only problem now is how to power the electric seats from the 807. I am not bothered about the heated seats or the airbag, I simply need to be able to move the seats back and forward and recline.
I have tried to find the correct connections on both seat connectors using power from a spare battery but just cant get any action out of the seat motors. (I know they work as I saw them working when in the donor car).
There are two thicker wires to the connector on each seat so I assumed these were the ones to hook up live and ground to but this doesn't appear to work. Has anyone else done this successfully? Any suggestions gratefully received! :-)

On the ones that drop, what do you have to do to get it to drop? So many questions! Lol !Sounds as though factory was using up available stock they had of levers and interspersed them with others for Vans when production changed over
2 freinds of mine had/have these vans... one of each make between us you could say but they were both pre-face lift (a 99 and a 03) and their handbrake levers laid down...........
The hand brake levers looked identical to mine but I never had a close up study of them....
I presume it's some kind of internal MOD to allow lever to free but the cable stays locked to rachet and brake remains applied.........---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apply handbrake as norm..........
Then as per norm when releasing raise lever slightly to take pressure of button but rather than press... pull button out ward and lever should lie down flatI used and was shown this method ... used both hands to achieve this and I/we were stood outside van (Made life easier at time)
(I'd go try mine again ........ but winds howling and it's chucking it down.........)
Haha ...same here! No problem, your description makes sense of it for me now!! Massive thanks - will try to get the original 807 handbrake from same car seats came from - presumably it will be a 'lie down' one!

The hand brake dropping to the floor but remaining on is a strange one.
Mine ((98) has swivel seats but for the first two years I had it, the lever never droped to the floor. Then out of the blue, it started doing it. But within a couple of weeks, it stopped working alltogether. I had to replace the lever and it's never dropped to the floor since. Never worked out if it was a different lever or not.I now carry wheel chocks to use when swiveling the drivers seat on a slope and reapply the handbrake when done.
Do the levers look identical (ones that drop and ones that don't)? - if not, how do you tell them apart?
On the ones that drop, what do you have to do to get it to drop? So many questions! Lol !

Thanks VAZ and TeeCee!
Much as I suspected!
The 807 I got the seats from still has most parts so I am hoping to get both subframes and the handbrake (is this a straight swap does anyone know?). Also got to check if the seatbelts on my dispatch will slot into the 807 stalks or not, if not I will need seatbelts from 807 too!
As for power supply to the seats has anyone done this? Just wanting to find out easiest method.
Your assistance is very much appreciated as I know zilch about these vehicles (until now!!)
Cheers
Chris

Hi all!
Newby here - first post!
I have just got a 2006 Dispatch and bought a pair of 2003 Peugeot 807 powered swivel seats hoping to install in place of the existing drivers seat and passenger bench.
First problem is that I haven't got the subframes from the 807 and the passenger side looks like it will need one - is that correct or is there a way of doing it without it?
Second issue is how do I adjust the seat position back and forward as I don't have electrical connections to hook up to the 807 seats? Is it possible to alter them to manual adjustment. I am not bothered about the heated seat or airbag being connected, but not being able to adjust the seat position is going to be a PITA!!
Any advice will be very gratefully received! 
Chris
