The Dispatch | Expert | Scudo Hub

If its just the radio you need, there are radios built into cassette cases which play via the tape heads to the stock speakers.  Quite common 30 years ago but rare now I suspect.
I use a similar one to allow me to play from an mp3 player via the cassette.

Another option could be a cassette-to-BT converter and play radio from the phone?......https://tinyurl.com/mv743esh  (I don't know this one in particular but they all look quite similar.

If the BT connection is stable enough, it should output as good as the head can manage.  Better than it could ever do with cassettes, I suspect.

Northstowe, Cambridgeshire.

Are these the standard ones for MKII's

HOW much???

Apparently, (according to AI):-

AI Overview
Fuel Pump assembly For Citroen C8, Dispatch, Synergie 1489083080, 0986580261 | eBay UK
On a 2010 (60 plate) Citroën Dispatch, the diesel lift pump is usually located on the engine block, before the secondary fuel filter, driven by the camshaft. To diagnose and find the part, identify your specific Dispatch engine (e.g., 1.6 HDi or 2.0 HDi)

Then:-

AI Overview
A 60-plate Citroën Dispatch does not have a separate "lift pump" in a submerged tank; instead, it uses a single, in-tank electric fuel pump that is submerged in the fuel and feeds directly to the high-pressure fuel system. Problems with the pump are indicated by difficulty starting, stalling, or engine juddering. To find the correct replacement, you must input your exact model and engine specifications into a vehicle parts selector on a website like Mister-auto.co.uk.

This and the info from Haynes seems a bit contradictory to me.  I would be asking a dealer.

Also... Strange that it only appears to have one power feed? 
Although I have seen some pumps which are in a housing which incorporates the level gauge so this may explain it.

I haven't a clue myself, and it tends to be quiet here over weekends.  Hopefully someone will know.

Long shot, but how about letting a parts dealer or even Citroën dealer do your research?  Try and buy a lift pump for that chassis number.    They should have access to manufacturer's parts lists. 
There are a also a couple of sellers for in tank lift pumps for Dispatches on ebay.  You might get lucky and find a knowledgeable one.  There is little point them pushing you one that doesn't fit the quoted model as they would have to pay return postage and refund.
And of course you don't necessarily need to buy one if you don't need it.

Another thing to consider might be any associated relays.  I would expect to hear some clicking from them.

Well!
Seems like the fridge draw may be a part of the problem.  I was working on other stuff today and had to nip out for some silicone.  I forgot all about having disconnected the 12v to the fridge but felt the difference on starting.  It ran smoother and actually pulled away with care.  Previously, it required warming to full operating temp before trying. 

I am beginning to think the temp may be a red herring though.  It may just coincide with how long it takes the alternator to get enough charge into the dead battery to ensure reliable running.

The plate on the fridge says 60watt.  I wouldn't have though that would have troubled a 70 - 90 watt alternator?
Anyway, I would expect an over discharged battery not to draw anything at all.  Like when you connect a charger it usually fails to even detect a battery or refuses to charge it.  Perhaps alternators aren't so fussy?

Any thoughts, corrections welcome.

My initial thought was drag.  First indication of course was instant stall when put into drive.  Suggesting too much drag for the cold engine.  But it had no sign of wanting to creep.
I also found it stalls with any electrical demand, turning the wheel was quite a surprise, as was indicating!

If it was an older vehicle, I would go straight for a failing alternator under load, but with ecu's, sensors, anti emissions, etc, who knows.
The guy I went to see down south had the proper Honda software and that didn't find anything. He did a full reset (whatever that means), stopping, starting, running up to temp.  Didn't seem to make any difference.  This leads me to think it's mechanical, but I am only clutching at straws.

It's a complete mystery.  I don't even know how much electronic control there is.  It is 2000 so didn't expect too much, but something weird is going on.  Being an import, I can't even find basic info on the engine.

I wanted to do an under heavy load alternator test from cold.  But of course it reads 14v or so, then goes dead when the engine stalls, telling me nothing at all. 

I think I will try an alternator swap but they are not cheap, and they are tricky to get at.

After finally having to get rid of my expert which had been virtually perfect apart from wear and tear for 7 years,  I spent over 3 times what the Expert cost me for a Honda with a fault that four garages haven't been able to fix. Including a main dealer!

Love it apart from the cold start problem, and lack of power plus low mpg compared to the Expert.  But it's cost me as much in mechanics bills in 6 months and still not fixed.

You could use one of those short chrome extensions.
Or even find a bit of scrap that fits near enough.
