Does this also do the make-it-stick-at-three-points-of-opening thing? My passenger door could do with that

Hi, I've not got the original radio and am fiddling about fitting another. Is there any way that I could have my steering wheel controls working with it??
Cheers

Just wondered if anyone has experience with the "grip control" feature?
On our trips to the alps, quite often I end up on forestry roads to get to the trailhead for the days hike. The roads are usually looked after, but can be very rough in early spring. My main problem is the low clearance on my 2002 WAV, even with the Mad  springs on the rear, I end up scraping the dirt. I spend most of my time holding my breath
So I'm thinking maybe to upgrade to a Peugeot Expert ATV or Citroen Dispatch XTR+. Both appear to be the same with grip control. under engine protection and a raised suspension - 10mm?? for the Peugeot and 30mm for the Citroen.
Any thoughts would be appreciated

There is a company (French I think) Dangel 4x4 that specialize in Pugeot/Citroen conversions....... usualy for local authorites/police etc .......... But again hens teeth and expensive with it no dout

I do feel your pain and your worse than me having a WAV..........

A little over kill for us considering the amount we visit but access to partners fathers place is sketchy..............

So Ive been on a little misssion also looking for a sort of universal off roaders lift kit for not silly money of no more than 30... 40mm...... (This is somethinng I did on my 4x4 Lada and got 50mm/2 inches and what a difference it made for tyre clearence.... axle travel    ...........

A Rally type sump guard is easily made up and tied into loweer suspension arm bolts.......... the rear springs can easily get a half decent spacer stuck in .... it's the front struts that are a bit of a Bal* Ach* with what to do there

It's mostly aimed at Honda owners  but I'm told others are available to .............. Phantom grip LSD  ........ cheap conversion if you fancy opening your diff up           
{even cheaper.... weld up your diff    }

I would certainly snap one up if I ever saw one!

Would be fun though 

Kept getting a feeling of familiarity with your name.  The penny finally dropped:-

Saw them a few times.

Any relation? 

I tackled the bubbling paint on the sills during summer. best to get in there asap or it'll turn into a bigger job. I treated the whole inner and outer sill with POR15 and its been fantastic. Not the cheapest product but certainly one of the best out there.

Tee  another quick question
will the C8 Seats fit the existing bases of the expert seats { mine has two single seats , driver and passenger  , no bench seat }
if they do it would save some work
as you were saying earlier about  the bases , i had a quick look yesterday on the way home
and it looks  but im not sure that they might fit the existing rails
i suppose the easiest way is wait and find out on saturday

thanks for all the help i appreciate it

oh sorry i forgot to ask , about the airbag ?
just clip it in or leave it disconnected ?

I've got the van now - I had a good look through the connections and couldn't sort it. In the end I pulled the cluster face off the circuit board and bent one of the two contact pins away from the clock (after setting it to midnight).

I now use the 'space' in front of the clock for my phone holder (suckered on to the plastic directly in front of the clear screen)

Experimenting on a scrap van tells me the answer is yes. Got a good long spanner on it and off it came. Replaced the pulley and now all is well again
