The Dispatch | Expert | Scudo Hub

Yes indeed I'm still unable to open that link

Thanks, all is well it worked for me this time It looks a lot more complex!

All I need to do now is figure what all those relays do, to get a complete understanding of how it works. Not sure if I can face it at the moment it looks as if the basic lock/unlock function is the same as the none deadlocking system. I've got a feeling if you keep the lock button on the keyfob depressed it closes any open windows, this seems to fit what's shown on the drawing.

Thanks for that, as you say it looks simple, but my van does have deadlocking. I have found similar info on the Peugeot 1007, which does have deadlocking, which mentions 2 change-over relays on the BMI board, but it's unlikely that the fault lies here as it mentions it affecting more than one door when they stick. So if you have further info on the deadlocking circuit it would be most gratefully received. My understanding of the central locking system on the van is the BMI knows the doors are closed/locked by the door lock on the 2 front doors, on the sliding doors by a separate switch (ie the plunger switch with security issues)

All very interesting, what in general happens during regeneration? You mention other items that are controlled in regeneration, would you like to expand on this?

Thanks for the reply, at 80k the van was with the previous owner, never heard of eolys fluid Presumably it won't need topping up until 160k?

I have a Mk2 Dispatch When you switch to main beam dip turns off checked with voltmeter. I haven't noticed any lack of illumination though, perhaps your headlights are set to high, have you tried the adjustment wheel within the cab lefthand side of the steering wheel on the lower dash

Jump starting is not a problem, according to the owner's handbook. I have fitted a second battery to my van via 2 Isolator switches. With this setup, you can then charge the second battery with the isolators open, disconnect the charger then close the isolators, this will bring the van battery voltage very close to the second battery. Driving with the batteries paralleled works fine, increases the time before the dreaded Eco-Mode battery saver mode kicks in

Hope this helps Mick

I have a drivers seat that's out of my 2014 dispatch, the fabric is black-grey and in good condition although the foam has gone lumpy-weak on the edge where you slide in and out, its perfectly servicable The van had covered around 90k

Fixed!

The gear knob pulls straight off, although it probably helps to give it a wiggle applying upward pressure at the same time. mine was on very tight and had to resort to heat before it would budge (gentle heat for a few minutes). The cause of the sticking was not obvious, but the splines attached to the gear stick which the lift ring slides on appear to be nylon, which is known to absorb water and swell. So I took emery cloth to it  until the lift ring slid smoothly. The reverse gear now works smoothly and drops out of reverse as you pass into neutral without having to push it back down ........Result!!!!

Thanks for that
There's a plate on the top of the knob but no obvious fixings might just conceal a nut? I read a post saying it comes off with a quarter anti-clockwise turn, again not certain which model though
