I was somewhat unlucky with mine, but worth reading https://dispatchexpertscudo.org.uk/foru … php?id=954
The only other thing is that split relay charging wont work because the alternator voltage droos below 12.7v when the ecu thinks the battery does not need to be topped up.

I would be heading elswhere, but one option might be to buy a cheap tent and stick that on the pitch - unless they dont allow tents as well.

Are these not standard isofix seats, so any isofix seat would work. Just a thought.

No Both sides
It was working on one side until i tried to fix it
I couldn't find a way inside either.

Hi All, After glove box door for 2005 Dispatch MK1 if any one can help,
thanks

Have both sides failed? I had one side fail, so I glued that side in. Worked fine with just one side locking.

We crossed to France via Dublin 3 weeks ago. Took the chance since we can't really do what we do for much longer. Mind you it took a ream of paper to prove whatever backstory we were to go with. In the end it was frictionless, but we were prepared to lose £500 if it did not work. And that is the point, all the bs is to stop travel regardless. If you can afford to lose the money, then thats ok. Hopefully it will ease a bit later on.

News today is that green cards no longer needed by the end of the month.

Problem is that most of the trade does not know how these things work or do not care.
None of this is helped by the manufacturers hiding as much as possible.
Going to get worse too - Tesla charging $2-3k for replacement touch panels...

At 90k your DPF and eolys fluid may be a candidate for renewal and topup.
Get yourself a blutooth obd2 dongle and faplite app to see how often regens are happening, and the projected life left of the DPF and remaining fluid inthe eolys tank.

Bit of a nuisance really, some software will just add orientation info to the file header, and hope that the display program will obey the instruction. I know that the old windows photo viiewer will actually rewite the file pixel by pixel.

Couple of nights at Tollymore forest and a night at a caravan park on the Ards peninsula, during the week. Mournes were quiet and windy, but no rain.
Weekend not really a sensible option here
#238 Re: General Discussion » Expert e-hydrogen » 2021-05-30 15:53:44
I have often said that one way to speed up the take-up of electric vehicles would be to have a standardised size of fuel cells/batteries. They then get treated like Calor gas bottles - you buy the first one and then exchange for full (with the price of the fuel only) whenever you need a fill up. Just drive to a filling station, pull out your empty fuel cell, swap it for a full one, pay and drive off. The station then fills up the old one (with charge or hydrogen, whatever) and puts it back on the shelf.
Charge time is one of the biggest drags on uptake - if you're driving a distance then you don't want to park up for 30-120 minutes each time you need to recharge...
Chinese ev maker has set up 250 battery swap station in China and looking to double this in the next year.
Not to sure it's a great idea, because you don't really know what you are getting each time.
Tesla tested it out in 2013 and decided not to proceed.

Hi
I suppose it’s the future although by the time I can afford something like that I’ll be too old to drive!
Feels like we are drifting into the end of personal transport. Elsewhere I see that Euro7 appears to be designed to kill the combustion engine well before the deadline, that iis unrealistic to start with.
#240 Re: Maintenance » Help... wiring issue » 2021-05-28 22:52:47
Hi
Hi all,
I a converting a MK1 DTurbo to a camper, and the LH indicators are on the blink. Tail, Repeater and Side all dead.
All ok at the fuses. so a broken wire! my issue is i'm lost technically. after the fuse box where does the cable go, I am aware of the cable going through the scuttle panel but how does that translate to the rear lights?!?!?!
Help please!
The switching all goes through the stalk. No relays. So dust and dirt will mess it up. There are a few posts here describing the delicate task of dismantle and cleaning it up.

#243 Re: Camper Conversions » 2010 Dispatch Bulkhead Removal Issues » 2021-05-16 14:05:56
Looking to do this job on mine soon to. Great tips tee_cee.
Will let you know how I get on. Not sure if its covered in the Haynes manual, will take a look.
tbh I didn't find the Haynes manual to be much use any time I looked at it.
Anyway here is a pic of the aftermath - I used the scraper the break the glue between the top and bottom, until I found the welded bits, which required the cold chisel.
#244 Re: Camper Conversions » 2010 Dispatch Bulkhead Removal Issues » 2021-05-16 10:16:24
Hi all,
Hope everyone is doing okay.
I've recently bought a 2010 Dispatch to convert into a camper.
I'm having some issues removing the bulkhead. I can tap out the bolts that affix it to the chassis but it seems impossible to remove the bulk head. They appear to be lipped on the cab side (of the ones that I can see). It's very difficult to even see the ones around the door.
ibb.co/album/SXD1Cz
Has anyone got any advice on how to remove these bolts or how to eventually get the bulkhead itself out? It's looking like I might have to chop it out at the moment!
Many thanks,
Bill2233
As well as bolts there are large rivets. Drill the centres as well as you can and use a hammer and holepunch to knock the centre out.
The real pig is the lower part. These are held in with some kind of hard glue, which needs to be chipped away. Then you will find that the middle part has been welded to the floor seam- two 5cm sections. I used a hammer an chisel to break this
Good luck.

That's nice Dave but it's the inside that makes a camper.
More pics please.

#247 Re: General Discussion » Photos » 2021-05-08 16:59:20
No
Surely got to be an easier way than that ?
I see many pictures on this group, have never had any success myself, but what other ways are there ?
On a new post there is a bold "uploads" link bottom right.

I've now sourced a single passenger seat from a tepee and a new drivers seat to match. Not cheap but cheap compared to some I've seen on ebay.
Any way I've found an upholsterer that makes custome covers for these seats so I'm going to have a set made up in leather as that's the look and feel I'm aiming for. I will also be purchasing a swivel for at least the passenger side seat, and maybe one fro the drivers seat depending on the rear units I decide to fit.
How much are the covers?
Not sure yet on total cost in the leather, but the seat base is listed on ebay :https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CITREON-DISPATCH-PEUGEOT-EXPERT-FIAT-SCUDO-QUALITY-SEAT-BASE-COVERS-2008-2016-/293712360721?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286
I'll be leaving a seat with them so they can make up a pattern for the back rest as they currently don't have one.
My understanding is that the seat fabric is an integral part of the cushion so reupholstered isn't an option, but they can do covers.
Look really nice. Please keep us updated. Thanks

#250 Re: Maintenance » Wheel arch trim » 2021-04-25 18:51:14
Hi I'm looking for a wheel arch trim for the drivers side for my fiat scudo 2004 reg. I realised its been missing and loads of water has come in to the footwells because of that. So anyone selling for spares or know someone who is ?
Thanks in advanceRachel
If you have water coming in, it might be the drain points at the bottom of the windscreen. The rubber tubes can get blocked and the water backs up into the fan air intake.
