I couldnt find a single passenger seat at sane money, so changed both the seats for Mk7 fiesta seats (thin bases and simple mechanism, nice and comfy). The bolt holes are nowhere near matching up, and wleding was certainly needed to the seat rails, swivel plate and base frame. The passenger side needed a new stubby four legged frame under the swivel, and we are also delighted with our end result - swivel front seat makes all the difference to the feel of space inside !
The headlining for a Mk2 is all one piece, so pretty large !
I grabbed one from a breakers and then used the two edges to trim along the sides of the pop-top. It has a stupic lump shape in the middle, so I had to make a separate piece for that. i think you'll have some problems with the ply approach due ot the funky shape of the roof/wall joints.
To confirm - I've finally got round to dropping the tank and fitting ht epickup tube. There is no addiontal outlet in the tank, so i added a hole in the top of the sender unit to fitt he heater pickup pipe.
I wouldnt do that again though - I'd try a plug in T piece in the return line first ! I only found out about that afterwards.
Knowing what i do now, I'd also seek out the smaller capacity 2KW heater, which should be ample for the small van. The larger 5KW unit is physically bigger, so more of a squeeze under the seat.
I'd initially guessed that too, but 2011 on tanks 'sender' units appear to have a third conection on the top that is a breather.
Frustrating that loads of websites show the transit connectoin being really simple, as the 'sender' unit had a nipple ready for the dip tube to drop through just by snipping off the sealed tip. I think there is a kit from Ford that had a clip on connector for it just like all the other diesel connectors too. I'm assuming thta Citroen / Pug connected the aux diesel heater into the diesel line somewhere up in the engine bay. The aux heater units on ebay dont give much indication about where the diesel is sourced from.
I was looking at pictures of diesel tanks recently, and wondering if anyone knows the purpose of the small pipe that seems to exit from the small oval plate close to the main sender unit ? On the tank on the listing you can see it heading towards the filler neck and then terminating in what looks like a red plug ? Diesel tank listing
I'm wondering if this is a connection for the auxiliary heater that I've heard about but never seen ? That would mean a pickup pipe tpo the bottom of the tank, which would be just peachy ! Failing this I'll have to pop a new hole through the top of the sender unit and use the pickup pipe that came with the kit.
I'm keen to get the heater fitted so we can start camping a little earlier this year - for the next month or so its still a little colder in the evenings than my wife is willing to contemplate ! Heater is destined for under the diver seat i think, as it wont fit under the pass one after the swivel fitting. I'd hoped to find space underneath, but there's nothing really suitable with access to places for air inlet/outlet to the van.
Update - looks like it just needed turning off and on again ! I left it overnight and the rear speakers sparked right up when I turned it on earlier, Great news !
I've a feeling theres also a connector for the reversing sensor ECU somewhere there too ?
Yep, trailer wiring.
A couple of years ago i bought a peugeot trailer unit on ebay. New with relay unit, connectors and wiring. It was for a slightly newer car than our Pug 308, so it physically fitted and plugged in, but only made the car brake lights come on all the time, whcih was odd. It sat in the garage on the shelf for a while until we acquired a proace for camper conversion. The trailer unit plugged right in to the connectors in your picture with a 50A fuse in the spare holder by the battery to feed the big cable that is already pre-wired, and turned on with Diagbox just fine. It works a treat, and runs both sockets, so outputs both permenant and switched live feeds.
Only downside is that the 7 pin lights socket has a small microswitch in to detect trailer connectoin. I haven't investigated how much works without a trailer plug connected.
So - if you can find a trailer kit for a 308 T9, it will plug right in !

I've been looking at fitting rear speakers in our 2014 H1L2 Pro-ace. The van has an RD45 head unit, which appears to have the same quad lock connector as the RD4 that PSA used for years in many vehicles.
The rear speaker connections in the quad lock connector on the back of the head unit are wired, although i have no idea where the wires end up ! I soldered on some alternative wires and conected some speakers - nothing. :-(
A little digging around in Diagbox and I found a setting to enable the fader in the radio config - now I can access the fader menu on the audio settings, but still no sound. :-(
Can anybody thing of any more suggestions about possible places to look to turn the rear outputs on ? I'm assuming its a digbox setting thing.
