#326 Re: Camper Conversions » Where to put a leisure battery » 2020-10-17 10:36:06
Where have folks fitted their leisure batteries in the mk1?
I was planning to fit one in the space under the middle passenger seat, but thinking about the need for ventilation and/or a proper battery compartment, I'm now thinking about putting it on the flat platform just ahead of the driver's side rear wheelarch and boxing it in, sealed to the inside but with an external vent for safety.
Any advice most welcome
I manged to get one into the engine bay

So is the general view that the 2.0HDI engine is as reliable as the 1.9D - and avoid the 1.6HDI?
#328 Re: General Discussion » Strange black box » 2020-10-09 10:30:14
Hi. I plan to install reverse sensors on my van, and because of that I needed to remove the rear bumper. Behind the left rear wheel I found a black plastic box with ventilation slots on it. What is its purpose?
Funny enough it's for ventilation

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh ............... Don't let my partner hear that she loves Turkey ...........
But thats based on Yalıkavak (Bodrum) which is nothing like getting to the Londra camp in istanbul...........
Personally : ~ I have no real desire for Turkey other than a visit to ANZAC Cove...........
Shhhhhhh............
The difference being that there is loads to see on route. Sweden has very nice scenery - however it's always the same scenery.

Well done, looks really good. Goes to show that simple does not have to be a lash up.

After a good pair of newer shape LHD headlights to use in Europe. Thanks.
I have a brand new pair that I bought for my 2002 Expert, but never fitted.
I'm in France at the moment, but should be back in the UK early Oct, if you can wait.

The upper section had beefy rivets. The lower section was welded to a seam in the floor in a couple of places for a couple of cm. Plus copious amounts of tough as nails sealant.

Having removed the bulkhead in my 2015 Expert, I sometimes wonder if it may have been part of stuctural protection in the event of the van rolling on to its roof.
#335 Re: Maintenance » Duff MAF Sensor ? » 2020-07-11 09:16:23
Since diesel engines take all the air they can get, the ECU can calculate how much air is being inducted - until the EGR opens. So the MAF is actually used to fine tune the EGR opening. If it is missing the ECU will make a calculated guess.

#337 Re: General Discussion » Teaching new keys? » 2020-07-07 21:55:11
Where do I find the "4 alpha/numeric code for programming"??
Got a cable on the way from Aliexpress, good to have.
Your local friendly dealer, possibly someone on the Peugeot forums or email to info@carkeyproblems.co.uk an £25 worked for me.
If it's just the transponder that you need programmed, others here have mentioned that the chip can be cloned
#338 Re: General Discussion » Teaching new keys? » 2020-07-07 10:17:37
Hi, remote/transponder will need to coded to the ECU - so you will need a Lexia cable, diagbox software and the 4 alpha/numeric code for programming.
This is the previous info I got from an auto locksmith
"A Philips ID33 (T5) transponder chip was used on the Peugeot Expert from 1997 to 2001. It then changed to a Philips Crypto II ID46 (T14)"
I assume that you have checked the transponder in the old key - my 2002 had the older ID33.

Just remembered that I posted a pic of the 200D on someone's Citroen here https://dispatchexpertscudo.org.uk/foru … php?id=733
You would of course need a lighting board also.
#341 Re: Maintenance » injectors » 2020-07-01 10:15:34
So these are Bosch injectors with 9 digit calibration codes - as you say they might not needed to be coded to the ECU, but the only way you will know is by hooking up diagbox.
Also, on my 2015 at least, there is an option for re-setting the pilot injection learning. This is used to learn the optimum pilot injection levels to avoid knocking.
Might not be needed on yours, and the settings may not make make much of a difference.
#342 Re: General Discussion » Bike carrier? » 2020-07-01 07:39:28
Thanks for the reply Tee_cee, sounds like a tow bar is best. Might need to wait a while though.
I'm a bit wary with electrics so might get someone to fit it.
I did look at Fiamma 200D and wondered if it might fit? The doors do seem a bit flimsy as you say, would they take the strain of two or three bikes levering it especially as you drive over bumps?
Like the idea of leather seats Anchor 79!
On my 2002 expert with rear windows I filled the door frame around the rack fixing points with expanding foam. This really stiffened the door quite a bit. In the end I was more worried about the door bursting open than buckling. 2 bikes were fine at about 27kg, but I would not have gone for 3.
#343 Re: Maintenance » injectors » 2020-06-29 17:40:12
Hi, when you say "code" do you mean a single digit stamped on the injector?
#344 Re: General Discussion » Bike carrier? » 2020-06-27 09:50:07
On my old 2002 van I had a door mounted Fiamma Carrybike 200D, but the read doors on the newer vans are so thin I'd be worried that they would take the weight.
My 2015 already had a towbar so I fitted an Atera Strada DL2 rack. These slide back to allow you to open the doors as per this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6spSWoezqc
Unfortunately the doors won't open fully when the bikes are slid back, but enough to reach in to get stuff out. Bought 2nd hand for £225
Towbar material costs should be about £140 for a witter bar & towball - £35 for wiring kit + bypass relay, or PF Jones sell dedicated wiring kits for about £120, which would make fitting a lot easier

Hmm, it's only two wires - yellow and white
The colours don't mean anything.
If you can read the numbers printed on them then I may be able to find out if we know the engine also.
#346 Re: Maintenance » Question about sliding door seal on 2004 1.9L Expert » 2020-06-20 13:44:55
Hi, and welcome.
There was a thread about the hook a few years ago https://dispatchexpertscudo.org.uk/foru … php?id=120
The guide & locator will help, but the most effective thing I found was to stick 9mm draft excluder tape to the edge of the door.
If you want some guides, you will find them in the bottom of the pillar - I think found about 6 
#347 Re: General Discussion » Speeding » 2020-06-17 07:12:15
Since the avg speed cameras use number plate recognition, it would mean that they can apply different limits by looking up the vehicle type automatically.
Did not know they were doing this.
I guess your only hope is that they must inform you within 14 days of the offence.

Stumbled across this Van design site today. Looks interesting for $19 for the year, though I somehow doubt if they have a templete for the vans here. Use any email to get access to the next pages.
