Well I finally got around to it, and the first one went in fairly easily at least. I followed the template visible on the inside of the door with a nibbler tool on my drill and the window / gasket went in after a bit of swearing and pinched fingertips. So the visible shape is all good to follow if anyone else needs to do this!

I'd love to have a drive in the L2H2 Mk2 Dispatch / Expert, I wonder if it still drives like a bit like a car?

My problem turned out to be something else, but I bought a fuel pump relay from ebay for about a tenner last week. The part number is 240107, it seems to be generic for many vehicles and can be had cheap if you search the part number (whereas individual listings for an exact vehicle cost a lot more but are the same part).

(long shot) does it have the glow plugs overridden onto a push button?
I was about to give up on my van having not managed to start it for 2 weeks but it turned out that the push button itself had gone bad and touching the wires it was attached to together would still heat the glow plugs (new lorry plug rated button on order...) and it started straight away!

2 USBs and a meter - seems to work so far (not bad for £3.50)

Funny i was making my sofa bed up last week also
That looks great, I'd love to have a big bus once I have a driveway.. Living in a flat at the moment with a new baby on the way so I have to be slightly practical (altho I think I may find the expert is no good for the baby seat anyway!)

Yea I got the 1.9d.. Its crazy slow, my last few vehicles were all hot hatches haha. I started getting the low water light on a cold day - It goes away straight away once the engine warms up so not too worried (I had a car before which did the same in the winter and no problems).
Just ordered my battery since I realised I can't fit the fittings under the bonnet without being confident it will close with the battery in..

Sofa beds in after cutting some arch shaped holes in the arms.. (total pain lifting it into place on my own!)
So far I've fitted the reverse camera, and swapped the bulkhead out for a blackout curtain.
Up next I'll be copying the leisure battery under the bonnet I saw in another thread, and cutting out my windows in the back door (yikes). I've bought a pull down TV for the ceiling too!

hmm yea I could see that being a problem on the side, but from what I can see from some admittedly blurry ebay photos is that the glassless window rear doors have the same recess as the panel ones, just with a hole in it?
I guess I won't know until I try, but I'm going to finish hooking up my reverse camera first (one job at a time!).

Ah that's a kind offer thanks but unfortunately I'm in the South West...
I didn't even consider the scrap yards as I haven't been in years, I just hopped on ebay and paid £40 for the set of windows delivered. Whole doors with glass were a lot more expensive on there so I thought I'd had a bargain but I guess not!
I think I'll try cutting one of my doors still, I guess if it goes wrong it's easy enough to go down the replacement route after, I just wondered if anyone had a horror story to put me off first

Hello,
I recently bought a 2003 Peugeot Expert and I'm going to have a go at converting it with a bed etc.
I got a very good deal on some rear windows with the gaskets intact, but my van has the solid back doors.
Has anyone ever cut the holes in their rear doors to fit the standard windows? Or am I asking for trouble?
I don't really want to buy the doors with the holes already in because the van was cheap, and I'm trying to do everything on a shoestring (like a practice run) since it'll probably tank the next MOT or explode beforehand based on my luck!
Thanks,
Dave
