The Dispatch | Expert | Scudo Hub

When I recently bought my 2006 Expert I was told it had a 16V engine  but
I'm not sure how to confirm this either.

Its down as 2.0 HDI and has RHZ designation in the logbook not sure where the engine number is
on the block but the logbook says the engine number begins with DYUU

Apparently the 16vs have twin cams, the primary driven by the cambelt like the others
and the other camshaft driven by a chain under the rocker cover.

Edit:

Going by this wiki page

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSA_EW/DW_engine#DW10

I suspect I have the 8v
"DW10 ATED / RHZ     109 PS (80 kW; 108 hp)    
common rail Turbo-diesel air/air exchanger catalyst"

I'm fine with that, it goes well enough for me as its pretty lively when you put your foot down
and I want reliability and decent economy from this old thing over more power.

Nice, I had the older convoy with the 2.5TD tranny lump
Hyuuge! but a noisy thing on long journeys and a bit of a rot box too sadly
I believe yours have the later Duratorq engines with DMFs so probably quieter and smoother

Good to know

I once managed to get a BMW K100 in a Citroen Visa van ( with some bodgery) so hoped the Expert would
be useful, not  like the old LDV Convoy 400 which I could ride a bike in of course but I didn't want that big of a van.

I tried using the brute force and ignorance method and removed the side screws
and pulled and pulled until I realised there were two black plastic plugs at the front that had to be removed first and if you just want to get shelf out, that's all you have to do,
ie whip out plugs and yank shelf backwards.

The plugs are the push in spreaders for an expanding/rawlplug type fixing
the side fixings are similar but use long screws instead.
They're about 8mm in diameter and 40mm long and were a sod to remove at first without one of those split jawed trim remover thingys and I only damaged one so that's
a good result for me.
I haven't fully reinserted them yet just in case I need to do some further adjustments or mods

When removing the headlining the only other thing I struggled with were the sun visors.
The outer hinges have two obvious screws to remove but I didn't notice the inner clips
had weeny little locking screws until after I brute forced the things out!
Oops
Again luckily no real damage done.

Well my welding lasted 10 minutes 
that spring steel didn't like a touch o the MIG
the weld was ok but the original material broke elsewhere

Sod it, I nicked the one from the NS door and will lash up something to keep that open
on windy days another time.
The pop rivet is easy enough to drill out but they're fiddly little buggers to get out and in
so will keep it simple like jamming a block of wood in there at first when needed and devise
something better later.

Hi,
I'm new to these vans but not cars vans generally
and on any other vehicle I'd open the window fully
grab the sticky uppy bit and peel it back as these rubber weather strips
usually have 'teeth' gripping the metal.
It might be glued though, if so I would try the same method but with possibly some
moderate heat to soften the glue.
Lifting the already warped section will probably tell you how its fixed and the best method for removal.

If you want to be really careful you could try running a plastic or wooden pry bar
along it to lift it off the lip of the door.

Once off, examination may tell you why it warped and if it's possible to straighten it
as not sure parts availability on these things

I now have air con Whoo hoo!
Luckily it had no leaks and just needed a regas
Decadent I know but I do like me air con, winter and summer

I didn't know windows had a 4GB limit in its inbuilt unzipper
7zip or winrar are what I've always used
Hopefully by now its unpacked into the 30 odd  vmdk files and stuff
There should also be some readme/instruction files to give tips on the
install and get up and running processes

Of course
I cant see an email link to send the link direct so try this for starters

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BJMN6W … drive_link

IIRC I have be logged into Google to enable the share to go ahead so you may have to give me time to get it together
as it's not my primary email account

It does work and I've installed it twice now
the initial boot in the VM/XP takes few minutes to load from Win10 but once loaded it's not too bad to use
I haven't tried to input a VIN yet but can get the wiring info once I input the RPO
which is on a sticker on my drivers door, in my case 10829
an earlier model will have lower number.

I got mechanical info without having to input a VIN, just vehicle specs

Cant be arsed to find, haggle and fit a cradle and wheel
I do have breakdown cover but  will Goop the tyres anyway and hope
for the best.

How did you snap an M10 bolt anyway
is you on steroids or summat?
