The Dispatch | Expert | Scudo Hub

I bought two and a small winch for my Maxus van but they are only about 200kg each. As i can stand in my present van i just put two planks down and drive the bike up while walking on the other plank

That is where your drop floor comes in handy. I needed a scaffold plank and duck to get in

Bought myself a Fazer600 a couple of weeks ago. Nice condition for its age. Strapped it down in the van and did the bugger not slide. Thank god it had engine bars and i just killed a mirror

Plenty vans and mini buses out there what are plated as 3.5T. Some are plated over at 3.8 or in my case 4.2T but that is not the actual weight. They need to compensate for 17 fat passengers and possibly a disabled lift in the back. You can get then down plated. You can try and do it yourself with DVLA but the norm is getting a company called SVTec to do the work for you. You get a weight bridge ticket and they do the rest for about £100.

This was my last bus what was plated at 3.85T. On the bridge it was only 2.2T converted.

Yeah i was parked up next to one at a bike rally in Holland. I was looking at it thinking just an extra foot in height would be enough  to make a cracking little camper

I may have not jumped ship so early Ken had we had the LWB in the UK. Yeah its only a foot but i would have went up also. I needed larger as my first Expert was a Micro camper and we started to take the dog with us (Rottie) I was going to build a camper out an LDV Pilot but it has an early Peugeot Non turbo engine. Vowed never to buy a Non turbo diesel again so went large with the Convoy.

Stuck around as my second van, the Dispatch was a work van but as my business started to take off i needed a larger van again so that jumped ship also to an LDV but the Maxus. Both are annoyingly lovable vans what can be money pits i must admit, but i think i am middle of the road in a financial way with my two LDV's. The Maxus i dont care about much as i just add any running costs to the customer

That looks bloody nice. I took my old 1.9D down the Black Forest Germany. If you see a hill make a run for it. In Belgium on motorways you can have long straight sections where you see hills ahead. I wound it up to FAF speeds passing all the trucks as sure as hell the buggers will get you on the hill. In Germany going over a small mountain i had to pull over to let a queue of cars past and an Oil tanker. Oh the shame but yeah. Moon and back rounds about right.  Where in South Wales are you? I was in Maesteg three days ago. It was no surprise to say it was pissing down.

Go down the engine bay bulkhead and under the van and back up through a hole in the sear floor. Seal/paint hole edges and use a grommet so the cable does not chaff.

Longniddry Bents mate. Just along the road from me in North Berwick. How handy is that

I dont live in the city

If this happened when you pressed the trip reset button then would the issue not be a stuck press switch? Either your push button or the pressure pad on the clocks circuit board??

Speedo in any motor tends to read a tad  higher. I notice if doing 70mph i am actually doing 66mph. My bus (different motor) runs 14" wheels as standard and i put on 16" wheels and now when doing 70mph i am actually doing 74/5 so yeah, between a wrong profile tyre or smaller wheel your speedo will be out. I tend to use my sat nav for a speedo when out in the camperbus but thankfully Scotland has switched off all its speed cameras.

Look for a junction box each sensor  plugs into. If you cant find one its probably an un finished job of a kit you can buy for the price of a few beers
