I wish it had a turbo, it’s just the 1.9. it’s got the acceleration of an old boat.
I have picked up a battery charger and the van has fired up. I’ve disconnected the immobiliser plug and the van starts freely now!
Very frustrated the garage changed the ignition barrel a few weeks ago taking a guess but lessons learnt.
My mother is fuming they’re keeping the van but my dad is absolutely made up this morning. We’re definitely keeping this one on the road now! Thank you everyone for the the contributions!
Your story sounds so familiar to my dads here. He’s owned this van for 26 years and it’s never let him down. When this non starting just came about the garage have changed the ignition barrel and the intermittent starting continued. After we noticed these cables frayed and damaged we couldn’t let it go to the graveyard as a non starter for something so manageable yet unattainable!
Thank you so much for your information and help.
I’ve just rewired the three loose cables, and refitted three more securely that I could see had become frayed/damaged. The van now lets me put the code in with the green light coming on, then just ticks like the battery has gone flat. It’s been stuck for 2 weeks with constant immobiliser attempts so I really hope it comes to life tomorrow after a charge.
Thank you again!
I will email you shortly as I owe you a coffee.
This is amazing!! My dad, brother and I have searched high and low for this holy grail. If I can get a clearer picture of this at your convenience I will be so grateful!! Absolutely incredible you’ve still got this in full working order, bravo!!
That would be amazing if you could. I’ve searched high and low for one for sale or someone breaking one and no look. I’ve spent a fair few hours guessing the order and going in circles.
I saw OAT was disabling his last year and really hoping theirs was still running. All I can do is hope and cross all my fingers and toes! Thanks
Hi folks, I’m reaching out and I’ll happily send someone a coffee if they have this info.
My dads pride and joy 1997 Dispatch (from new) has stopped turning over. Ive inspected behind the keypad immobiliser and 3 of the cables have snapped. With 3 cables loose and 8 free terminals I can not fathom the right combination. I’m an ok mechanic but not too good on electrics.
If anyone can tell or show me the wire order on the block connector going into the keypad to the right of the steering column I will be so so grateful!!
Thank you in advance.
