What capacity batterys do you have?

It's a problem that has been looming for a while. I think many people are sold on the idea of the open road and being able to park where you like. Even in countries where this has been seen as a right, are clamping down eg New Zealand have a self sufficiency certification to wild camp - with heavy fines if you park up and are not certified.
Campsites are going to jam packed with newbies who won't be able to behave. Camping and caravan club membership allows access to small sites on farms and the like, which may be a better alternaive.

Nice.

Are you sure it's the airbag and not just the sensor that detects someone on the seat?

I've seen someone suggest that switching the headlights on for few seconds will get the relay to click off. It's not a great thing to have the relay on when starting the van since you will be drawing a large starting current down the leisure battery cable and through the relay - never mind draining your van battery.
It looks like the internal circuit board has been installed 180 deg - you would hope that they marked the red (main battery) terminal correctly, it should be next to the ground wire.

Personally I just use a £2 40A 12V relay, and trigger it via an add-a-circuit fuse breakout connected to the "engine running" relay output which feeds the blower motor etc.

The windows are designed for 25mm thick flat surfaces, so it takes a bit of work getting them into a curved door. To add to the problem the edges of the door are folded over on the inside, which interferes with the wooden frame. The wooden frame also needs to be curved slightly top to bottom. When the two halves of the window are screwed together, with some mastic seal, I was left with a gap at the top and bottom on the outside, which was then filled with sikaflex. After 2 years it all seems stable enough.

The original glass I was looking at was at http://leisurevehiclewindows.co.uk/peug … -2007-swb/ which will be much cheaper and easier to fit - looking at it now it looks like it's about the same size as my windows!!

Hi, additive pump is only activated when you add fuel - so if the ECU thinks that this has failed, or thinks that the tank is empty, then it will will light the "risk of blockage" light.
Frankly the Italian tuneup advice on the net is not really that helpful. I goes back to the early days when the manufacturers hoped that soot would be burned off during the normal driving. With these engines the main regen process is kicked off when the (calculated) soot level hits a predetermined limit (5g/l in my case). During this process the exhaust temperature will rise to over 500c. If there is no eolys fluid being injected into the fuel, the soot will not burn off as effectively - and the exhaust will eventually block up.

Regarding the life of the filter, again this is part of the diag "Distance remaining before replacement of the FAP" along with "Additve Remaining". Did they give you give you a printout of the diag?

In my case with 2015 DW10CD the readings suggest that the filter should last for 150k miles, but I think earlier engines may be less. The fluid Peugeot used, changed at some stage from Eolys 176 to Eolys Powerflex which lasts longer.

Yes, the filter can be cleaned - which is what Citroen\Peugeot will do with reconditioned DPFs (at eye watering prices). There are independents that do this, but I have no experience of them. I would not recommend after market DPFs (smaller size, lower precious metal content -> shorter life)

Hi, I did look at the side windows designed for this van, and although they look nice on the outside the actual window area from the inside was quite small. In the nd I went for dometic windows, which have built in fly screen and blind and because they open out, rather than slide, you can leave them open in the rain. Expensive & tricky to fit but definitely worth it.

I had a hole on my 2002 Expert on the passenger side, though it may have been part of the WAV conversion. The easiest way to check is to look for the cable going through in the driver footwell (maybe the bonnet release cable), and the hole will be in the same place on the passenger side.

just to confirm what @JohnDragonMan said, I've just ventured outside to check the voltage at the headlight bulb, and when the main beam is on the dip switches off.

Looks really nice.
There seems to be a fault in the s/w for the electrical diags, and I can't get the relevant pages.
However I can see the sidelight diagram.
There are no relays, just the switch and fuses. There are fuses for each side of the van, so if both sides are going out then it has to be the earthing point, which is at the left rear.
